NOTHING MISSING

READING: JOHN 21:4-11

Verse 11: “Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.”

There are times when the Bible leaves us to wonder about some details, and even some very important major matters as well. At other times we are told all we could want to know regarding some events. This verse represents the latter. The exact number of fish is given as Jesus caused the disciples’ net to be supernaturally filled. The miracle was fully accomplished because if, for example, the net had broken and the fish lost; the testimony would have been diminished. That was not the case nor was there any other incompleteness. The Lord ordered every detail so that nothing was omitted and so that all of the power of the miracle was displayed. Our Savior does every bit as much for our lives. He anticipates all of the details, even those which are impossible for us to predict. When we submit to His Lordship, His responses to us insure that we don’t suffer loss. His nets don’t break! That’s a thought – about God’s Word.

2. His nets don’t break, but why is it that ours sometimes do?
