John 21:10-12

We visited a church this morning, and the pastor preached on these verses.

John 21:10-12
Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught."
Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.

These are some interesting verses. What the pastor said, and this is true, is there is definitely a point in this: that is, Jesus wants us to have communion with Him. To talk with Him and read His word. I think that is so true. Sometimes we fail to spend time with our Lord. As the pastor said, "If you spent as little time with your wife [or husband] as you do with God, your marriage would end up in divorce. If you spent as little time with your children as you do with God, your house would be in rebellion." Now, that gives a little bit of a picture of why we don't feel like strong Christians. God wants us to come to Him, to talk to Him, to read His Word. I think if we did that, we would be much stronger Christians, and we would know Jesus so much better than we do now.

I love your new blog! It is so cool! I agree with the fact that we have to spend more time with God and if we do that we will be better Christians. Thanks for sharing!!
