Show Notes

John 21:1-19 recounts a post-resurrection appearance of Jesus by the Sea of Galilee. After a fruitless night of fishing, Jesus appears on the shore and instructs the disciples to cast their net on the right side of the boat, resulting in a miraculous catch of fish. Recognizing Jesus, Peter, in his characteristic impulsiveness, jumps into the water to reach Him quickly, while the other disciples stay in the boat, bringing the net full of fish to shore.

This contrast highlights Peter’s eagerness and emotional response compared to the practical approach of the others. Both actions—Peter’s leap and the disciples’ steady work—demonstrate different ways of responding to Jesus’ presence, each contributing to the moment’s significance.  Join us online or in person as we remind ourselves that there are times to leap and times for holding steady.
