Advice From Jesus

Text: John 21: 6

ADVICE FROM JESUS

Jesus gave a word of advice to His disciples. Would they heed His word?

“And He said to them, ‘Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.”

John 21:6

1. The context understood

a. The disciples did not know that it was Jesus who spoke to them.
b. There was no compelling reason for them to listen to this word of advice at all.
c. The disciples had worked all night and they had caught nothing.
d. They were tired, disappointed and upset that all the work had yielded nothing.

2. “And He said to them, ‘Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some”

a. This advice did not sound all that wonderful.
b. Why would the right side of the boat be the place to cast their nets?
c. They probably trawled a large area of the Sea of Tiberias.
d. There was nothing to lose if they tried one more time.

3. “So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish”

a. “So they cast”
i. Not with any great expectation.
ii. They certainly did not anticipate a miracle.
b. “The multitude of fish”
i. To the great surprise of the disciples.
ii. They had a huge catch of fish.
iii. Their net was so heavy with fish they could not draw in the net.

ANOTHER MIRACLE

This was not the first miracle involving a great catch of fish.

1. The first miraculous catch of fish was recorded in Luke 5:1-11.

2. Jesus demonstrated His power and Peter and his friends decided that they would follow Jesus as full-time disciples.

3. This was the second miracle involving a great catch of fish!

经文：约翰福音 21：6

耶稣的指导

耶稣给予门徒们指导。他们是否会照祂的话去做呢？

“耶稣说：‘你们把网撒在船的右边，就必得着。’他们便撒下网去，竟拉不上来了，因为鱼甚多。”

《约翰福音 21：6》

1． 必须了解背景

a. 门徒们并不知道与他们说话的是耶稣
b. 其实他们也没有理由听这指导
c. 门徒们花了整晚打鱼都没捕捉到鱼
d. 他们整夜白忙了一场， 因此觉得疲累，失望，伤心

2． “耶稣说：‘你们把网撒在船的右边，就必得着。’”

a. 这指示；没什么特别
b. 为什么船的右边撒网便得着呢？
c. 他们在提比哩亚海上已曾从了许多地点尝试拖网
d. 但再尝试多一次，也毫无大碍

3． “他们便撒下网去，竟拉不上来了，因为鱼甚多。”

a. “他们便撒下网去”
i. 他们没有期望会有任何收获
ii. 他们绝对没有想到会有神迹
b. “因为鱼甚多”
i. 门徒们感到惊讶
ii. 网中的鱼甚多
iii. 网中的鱼重得他们竟然拉不上来

另一个神迹

这不是圣经上首次记载有关打鱼的神迹。

1. 第一次有这样的神迹记载于《路加福音 5：1-11》

2. 耶稣当时展现了祂的大能,彼得与同伴们就决定跟随耶稣成为祂的门徒

3. 这是第二次展示了打鱼的神迹
