Jesus Fixes Breakfast - John 21:1-14 - Children's Sunday School Lesson - Sunday - 4/15/18

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee. Jesus and the miracle of many fish. Only the book of John tells us how Jesus came to the seven disciples as they were fishing. John remembers how many fish they caught, and their surprise and relief of finding the fishing had not been torn.

Jesus provides.

Once before, Jesus helped His disciples catch a big bounce of fish. Helping them catch a miraculous amount of fish this time showed the disciples it really was Jesus who was alive again.

How did the disciples know that this man was Jesus? ... None of the disciples dared asked Him (Jesus), "Who are You?" They knew it was the Lord. John 21:12

Only Jesus could make that big catch of fish happen. This man on the beach had to be Jesus who had come back to life!

Jesus showed the disciples He had come back to life by helping them catch a miraculous amount of fish.

How many fish did the disciples catch during the night? Zero

When did the disciples go fishing? At night time.

How many fish did the disciples catch when Jesus told them to fish? 153

What was Jesus doing on the lake shore? Making breakfast

Simon Peter said to the disciples, "He was going fishing." The disciples said to Simon Peter, "They would also go with him." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.

But when the day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

Jesus therefore said to them, "Children (Disciples), you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Jesus, "No."

And Jesus said to the disciples, "Cast the net on the right-hand of the boat, and you will find a catch." They cast therefore, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

And so when they got out upon the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid, and fish placed on it, and bread.

Jesus, said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught."

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of large fish, and a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many that the net was not torn.

Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord.

Jesus came and took the bread, and gave them, and the fish likewise.

This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.
