Jesus And The Miraculous Catch Of Fish

John 21:1-19, After ward Jesus appeared again to His disciples at the sea of Tiberias, There was Simon Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, and the two sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples, Peter said I am going fishing, The other disciples said we'll go with you. So they all got in the boat and went. Early in the Morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Then Jesus called out to them, Friends have you any fish? No they answered, He said to them, cast your net on the right side of the Ship, and you shall find. They did as Jesus said, and Caught a Large Number Of Fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved, say to Peter it is the Lord! As Soon as Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his outer garment around him, and jumped in the water. The Other disciples followed in the boat, dragging the Net full With fish One hundred and fifty three. Then they saw the fire of burning coals, with fish and bread all ready to eat. Jesus said to them bring some of the fish. Peter drew the net to Land and the net was not broken. Jesus said them come and dine. Jesus said to Peter Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou Me more than these? Peter said, Yea Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said feed My Lambs. Jesus said again to Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou Me? he said Yea Lord; Thou knowest that I Loved Thee. Jesus said feed My sheep. Jesus said to Peter a third time, Lovest thou Me? Peter was grieved because Jesus asked him a third time. Lovest thou Me? Peter said to the Lord, Thou knowest  all things; Thou knowest that I Loved thee, Jesus said to him, feed My Sheep. [ If you are not a believer in Christ, Trust in Him to day, don't wait. He is the way to heaven. There is no other way to the Father but through the Son.

Death is a Separation of the Soul from the body, James 2:26, The body with out the Spirit is dead.       2 Corinthians 5:8 We are Confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. For the Redeemed this separation will continue till the Rapture. 1 Corinthians 15: 35-44,[ JOHN 6:39] John 5:28-29, Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth; those who have done good, unto the Resurrection  of life; and those that have done evil, onto the resurrection of damnation. the Lord Jesus Christ, having fulfilled, His redemptive mission, will deliver the kingdom to God the Father. 
1 Corinthians, 15:22-28, For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ Shall all be made alive. But every One in his Own order: Christ the first fruits after ward they that are Christ's at His coming. Then comes the End.When He Shall delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; When He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The Last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. He has put all things under His Feet. But when He said All things, are put under Him, it is evident that He Who put all things under Him is excepted. Now  when all things are made Subject to Him, Then the Son Himself will also be Subject to Him.   That God may be all in all.] Because Christ Rose from the dead, We His Children have hope, Salvation, Victory, and Purpose. For Jesus broke the power of Death, So that we might  have eternal Life, [ John 6:40, Say that, This is the will of Him Who Sent Me, that every One who sees the Son And Believe in Him may have everlasting Life; And I Will Raise him up at the Last Day.

The Tomb Is Empty, The Resurrection Of Jesus Is True, He Is Alive

John 20:1-18,  The first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus love, and she said to them, They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid Him. So Peter and the other disciple run to gather to the tomb,  but the other disciple did outrun Peter and came first to the tomb. And he stooped down and looked in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came he went into the Sepulchre, and saw linen clothes lying there, and the napkin that was around His head, wrapped to gather by it self. Then the other disciple went in, he saw and Believed. For they did not understand the Scripture that Jesus had to be raised from the dead. So the disciples went home. But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. While she wept and looking in the tomb she saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus body had been, one at the head and one at the feet. Then they said to her, woman why are you weeping? she said, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they laid him.  When she said this, she turn and saw Jesus standing there, she did not know that it was Jesus, until He called her name. Jesus said "Mary!" she said Master!" Jesus said to her, Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to My Father. Go to My Brethren, and tell them I Am returning to My Father: and your Father, to My God and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and He had spoken these words to her. Matthew 28:10, Be not afraid: go tell My brethren to go to Galilee; there they will see Me."

John 20:19-31, On the evening of the first day of the week, when the disciples were to gather, with the door locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, PEACE BE WITH YOU. After He had said this, he showed them His hands and side. The disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Act 4:33, Said, And with great power He gave the apostles witness of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great peace was upon them. Jesus again said, Peace be with you: as the Father hath sent Me, even so I Am Sending you. And when He had said this He breathed on  them the, and said unto them Receive the Holy Ghost: If you forgive anyone their sins. they are forgiven. Thomas One of the disciple was not there when Jesus came, So the other disciples told him "We have seen the Lord!"  He said to them, unless I see the nail print in His hands and put My finger where the nails were,and put my hand into His side, I will not believe. A week later His disciples were in the house again, and the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, peace be with you! Then He said to Thomas, Put your finger here:see My hands, and Reach  Out your hands and put it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas said, My Lord and my God!" Jesus reply, Because you have  seen Me you Believed: blessed are those who have not seen Me yet they believed."   believed  On the Lord Jesus And you will be saved.

The People Cried Out, Crucify Him, Crucify Him,Pilate Said Why? I Find No Fault In Him

John 19:1-15, Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged, The Solders twisted to gather a Crown of Thorns and put it on His head, They Clothed Him in a purple Robe and went up to Him again and      a gain, Saying, Hail king of the Jews! And They Struck Him in the Face. Once more Pilate came out  and said to them, look I am bringing Him out to you, to let you know that I find no fault in Him; When Jesus came out wearing the Crown of Thorns and the purple Robe, Pilate said to them, Behold The Man! As Soon as the Chief priest and Officials Saw Him they Shouted Crucify Him, Crucify Him, Pilate Said Take Him and Crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him. The Jews insisted, We have a law, and according to our law He must die, because He claimed to be the Son Of God. When Pilate heard this he  was even more afraid, and went back in the palace, and ask Jesus, Where are you  from? Jesus gave Him no answer, So Pilate said to Jesus, Don't you realize I have power either to crucify you, are power to release you? Jesus answered, you could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given to you from above. therefore the one who delivered Me up to you has the greater Sin."From then on Pilate try to Set Jesus free, but the people kept Shouting, if you let this Man go you are no friend of Ceasar. Any one who claim to be king opposes Ceasar. when Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat Him down on the judgement seat in a place that is called Gabbatha. It was about the sixth hour, and it was also the preparation of the Passover. Pilot said to them, Behold your king! But they cried Out, A Way with Him, away with Him, Crucify Him. Pilate said shall I Crucify your king? The chief priest answered, we have no king but Ceasar.

John19: 16-20,  Then Pilate delivered Jesus up to them, to be crucified. So the Soldiers took Jesus and led him away: And bearing His cross He went forth unto the place of the Skull, called Glogotha.  Here they Crucified Him. And two others one on both side, and Jesus in the middle. Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the Cross. JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 23, When the solders crucified Jesus, they took His clothes dividing into four parts, to every soldier a part; and also His Coat: they cast lots for it, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which said, They divided My garments among them, and for My vesture they cast lots.     25, There Stood by the Cross Jesus Mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife  of Cleophas, and Mary  Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw His Mother, and the disciple, whom He loved Standing by, He said to His Mother "Woman, behold your Son! Then to the disciple, Behold your mother!"  And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

John 19:28-42, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I THIRST. A vessel of vinegar was there, so they filled a Spunge with Vinegar and put it to His mouth. When Jesus received the Vinegar, He said, IT IS FINISHED. And He Bowed His head and gave up the Spirit. It was the day of the Preparation and the next day was to be the Sabbath.  The Jews did not want the bodies to stay on the Cross, the solders came and broke the legs of the men on both sides of Jesus. When they Came to Jesus, and found that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But One of the solders pierced Jesus Side, with a Spear, and there flow, Blood and Water, These things were done, that the Scripture Should be fulfilled, A Bone of Him Shall Not Be Broken. Another Scripture fulfilled, which said, They Shall Look on Him Whom they pierced.    Later Joseph of Arimathea  asked Pilate for the Body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, But secretly because he feared the Jews. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, who visited Jesus one night. Nicodemus brought myrrh and aloes, about Seventy five pounds, they both wrapped Jesus body with the Spices, in strips of linen. According to the Jewish burial customs. At the place where  Jesus was Crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a New Tomb, in which no one had ever Laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation, and Since the tomb was empty, they Laid Jesus there. Isaiah 50:6 was fulfilled. I gave My Back to the Smiters,and My Cheeks to them plucked off the hair: I hid My Face from Shame and Spitting. Psalm 22:18 They parted My garments, among them, and cast Lots for My Vesture. Sun of Righteousness set for a while, to rise again in great glory.

Jesus Betrayed and Arrested in Gethsemane

John 18:1-8, After our Lord prayed for all believer's He left with His disciples and cross the Brook Cedron. On the other side there was a Gorden, and He and His disciples went in. And Judas also, which betrayed Him, knew the place: because Jesus had often met there with His disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, they were carrying torches lantern and weapons. Jesus, knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth, and said unto them,Whom seek ye? they answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. I Am He, And Judas also which betrayed Him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Jesus said to them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that I Am He; if there fore ye seek Me, let these go their way.[ In John 6;15, When Jesus therefore perceived that they would take Him by force, to make Him king, He departed to the mountain by Himself alone. But when they came to force Him to the Cross, He Offered Himself; for He came into the world to suffer; On the Cross He would pay for the sin of our transgressions. John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him Should not perish but have Everlasting Life.

 John 18:9-23, That the saying might be fulfilled, which He spake, Of them which thou gavest Me I have lost none. Then Simon Peter who had a Sword, drew it and smote the high priest's servant and cut off his ear, his name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter, put up your sword into the sheath: the Cup which My Father hath given Me, Shall I not drink it? Then the band and the Captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound Him, and led Him away to Annas first; for he was the father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that year. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave Counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that One Man Should die for the people. Peter and another disciples followed Jesus, because this disciple was known to the high priest. But Peter stood at the door without. the other disciple, came back and brought Peter in. The girl asked Peter, are you one of His disciples? Peter said am not." While Peter and the others worm them self by the fire; Jesus was bean questioned by the high priest, about He and His disciples teachings. Jesus answered him, I Spoke Openly to the world; I ever taught in the Synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why question Me? Ask those who heard Me Surely they know what I said. unto them: When Jesus said this, One of the officials near by struck Him in the face. Jesus replied, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest Me?
 
John 18:28-40, Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the place of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the place; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. So Pilot came out and ask them. What charges are you bringing against this man?" they answered, if He was not a malefactor, we would not bring Him to you.         Pilate said, take Him, and judge Him according to your law, The Jews said, it is not lawful for us to put any man to death. That the saying of Jesus may be fulfilled, which He spake, signifying what death He Should die. Pilate entered the Judgment hall again, and said to Jesus, Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus ask, is that your own idea, or others talk to you about Me? Pilate replied. It was your own people and your chief priests who handed you over to me, what have you done? Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servant would fight to prevent My arrest, but now My    kingdom is from another place." you are a king then! said Pilate. Jesus answered, you are right in saying I Am a King. To this end I was born, and for this cause I came into the world that I should bear witness  of the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears My voice. Pilate ask, what is truth? Pilate did not wait for the answer, but went out, and said to the Jews, I find in Him no fault at all. But it is your Custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of Passover. Do you want me to release the king of the Jews? They shouted back, No, not this Man, but Barabbas. Who is a robber.

Our Lord Spoke with Authority, As one that is Equal with the Father

John 17:1-15 After Jesus spoke to [His disciples in John.16 ], He looked up to Heaven and prayed: Father, the time has come, glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted Him authority over all people that He might give eternal life to all those you have given Him. Now this is eternal life: That they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work that you gave Me to do. Now Father, glorify Me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
I have revealed you to those whom you gave Me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to Me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given Me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave Me and they accepted them. They know with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent Me. I pray for them. I Am not praying for the world, but for those that you have given Me for they are yours. all I have is yours, and all you have is Mine. And glory has come to Me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I Am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your Name- the Name-you gave Me. So that they may be one as We are One. While I was with them I protected them and kept them safe by that Name that you gave Me. None has been lost except one the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. I Am coming to you now, but I say these things while I was in the world, So that they may have the full measure of  My joy within them. I have given your word and the world hated them, for they are not of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil.

John 17:16  Jesus continued His prayer for all Believers[They are not of the world, even as I Am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: As thou has sent Me into the world, even so I also  sent them into the world. And for their sakes I Sanctify Myself  that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which Shall believe on Me through their word; That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in them, that We may be made perfect in One; and that the world may Believe that Thou hast Send Me, and has loved Me, And has loved them, as Thou has loved Me. I gave them the glory that you gave Me. Father I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me,  be with Me where  I Am; O Righteous  Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that  thou hast Sent Me. And I have declared unto them thy Name, and will declare it: That the love where with thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.[Jesus prayed that God would protect His people from evil.                         
God loved the people of this world so much, that He sent His Son in this world to live a perfect life; and died a perfect death. to be a light in a dark world. Christ prays for those that are His. Thou gave  them to Me, as sheep to the Shepherd, He is willing and able to save to the uttermost, all that come to God through Him; Christ prayed that His Believing Children be one under one Head. He prayed for Himself.The Father and the Son are One. And that the love of the Father might abide with all Believers.  Jesus came to Reconcile the world to Himself, and Redeemed those that are lost.                 Psalm 145:5, They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty.] Awesome and Holy is God, in human flesh; Exalted, in glory with His Father; Matthew 16:27, For the Son for Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will reward each person according to what  he has done.

Jesus said, As the Father Loved Me, I also have Loved you; abide in My Love

Christ expected Believers to bear fruit; So He explained to His disciples about the vine and the branches. John 15:1-8, I Am the True Vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. He Cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, While Every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch Cannot bear fruit of it self, unless it abides in the Vine, Neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I Am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; For with out Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.[  Matthew 7:16-20, By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from throne bushes, or figs from thistles? Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. By their fruit you will recognize them. verse 24-25, Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and put them into practice is like a wise man who build his house on the Rock. The rain came down and the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall,because it had its foundation on a Rock.

John 15:9-As the Father Loved Me, I also Loved you; abide in Me, If you keep My Commandments, you will abide in My Love. Just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His Love.  If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would loved its own. But I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. A Servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him[ The Father ] who sent Me. But this happens that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their Law, They hated Me with out a cause. But when the Helper comes, whom I shall Send to you from the Father the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testified of Me and you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
Christ bodily presence could only be in one place at a time, but After His Resurrection His Spirit could be in every place at all times. Where ever people gathered in His Name He has promised to be there. The Comforter is our helper, to Reprove, to Comfort, to guide, to Restore, and to Remind us of Righteousness, and all about Christ teachings.

Jesus the vine, the true vine

John told the greatest story, ofthe Love of the Father, for His Son, and the Love of the Son for the Father. No mistake about it, this is God Son; one with the Father, John 10:30, Jesus said, I and the Father are one."[ Jesus a Union of Divine Natures, Truly God, and truly Man, and the fullness of the Spirit in Him. The Believers are branches of this vine. The root is unseen, Strong enough to hold up the many branches; Even as Believers all over the world are many, in Christ we received our supports that supplies a rich life in Christ. Many branches, one tree, supported by one main vine, we all feed upon Him and grow stronger in Him, as we engage in prayer and meditation.] Romans 5:4-6, So my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. For when we were controlled by sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit to death. But now by dying to what once bond us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in a new way of the Spirit, and not of the old way. Galatians 5:22, Say that, The fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness.

John 15:9- As the Father has Loved Me, so have I loved you, Now remain in My love, if you obey My commands, you will remain in My love  just as I have obeyed My Fathers commands and remain in His Love. My Commands is that you love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one  than this, that He lay down His life for His friends. You are My friends if you do what I command. If the World hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first, if you belonged to the world, it would loved you as its own. But I have Chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: No servant is greater than his Master. If they Persecuted Me. They will persecute you also. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles,  and yet they have hated both me and My Father. But this is to fulfill what was written in their law: They hated Me without reason. But when the Comforter comes, Whom I will Send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who goes out from the Father, He testify about Me. And you also must bear witness because you have been with me from the beginning.
