Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Gospel of John




(New Testament)

John 21

Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish

21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.[a] It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus[b]), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.

5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.[c] 9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.

10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

(End of Scripture Passage)



We can only imagine how full of shame and depression Peter must have been after the fateful night of his denial of Christ (THREE TIMES!). Well, there was always fishing he could fall back on.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Lord and Heavenly Father
You are The Truth,
And, By Definition, There Is Only One Truth,
And Everything Else is a Fantasy,
A Legend, or a Lie.
The Truth is Eternal,
It Does Not Change With the Fashions of Time.
You Are The same Yesterday, Today, and Forever,
And We can Look To You With Confidence,
and Not Be Moved from The Integrity of The Truth.

We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According to Your Will and Promise.
We Pray For the People and Leaders of Israel,
that They Will Look to You for the Protection
and Prosperity of their Nation.
We Also Pray For Revival in our own Beloved USA.



We Pray For The Leaders of Our Nation,
May They Be Inspired and Led By You,
And Please Guide Them in All Things.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Electric Bass Guitar is a fairly recent addition to the long history of musical instruments. In order to get the volume needed for really low notes, the non-amplified acoustic had to have a huge sound-box. Thus we have The enormous guitar that plays the bass part in Mariachi bands, the almost comical bass-balalaika in Russian ensembles, and, of course, the huge Double Bass (also called the "Bull-Fiddle) that graces Classical Orchestras, Country, Bluegrass, Jazz, and Early Rock'n'Roll. Not only are these Behemoths unwieldy and fragile, so much that one will not fit in a normal-sized car, but they are so expensive that a single replacement string can cost over $100. It takes a very dedicated musician to play one of these, as I found out many years ago as I was walking down Huntington Av in Boston, home to Symphony Hall, The New England Conservatory, and Northeastern.

A young student schlepping a Bull Fiddle came up and asked me, "Do you know how to get to Symphony Hall?"

At first I was going to give the classic Henny Youngman response, "PRACTICE!", but looking at the size of what he was carrying and imagining it being smashed over my head, I replied, "You're almost there. It's on the next block, this side."

In the 1950's, Leo Fender came up with an alternative. It was called The Fender Precision Bass Guitar and, though still larger than an electric guitar, was played the same way. The bass LINES, however, weren't much different than the ones played on the upright bull-fiddle. It took pioneers such as James Jameson (in the MOTOWN crew) to make the bass lines a signature of the song. When that bass-line starts, you know what song is going to ensue.

Because the Electric Bass is still considered a "new" instrument in the general history, bass players are the object of many jokes. Nigel, in "This Is Spinal Tap" gets trapped in a huge plastic pod onstage and needs to be rescued with a blowtorch, for example. The classic response to the statement "I play bass" is "What's your REAL job?" etc.

When I started playing bass in 2004, I noticed that EVERY bass player I knew had been to CULINARY SCHOOL. This was so that he would have something "to fall back on" in case he failed as a bass player. Not only have I not gone to CULINARY SCHOOL, but MY favorite thing to make for dinner is RESERVATIONS. I am in a lot of trouble.

Poor Peter! He had not only washed out as a Disciple, he had denied his Master THREE TIMES, with curses and oaths, even.

But at least he had the ol' fishing business to fall back on...and THAT didn't seem to be working out too well either.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"The Miraculous Catch Of Fish"
Peter Paul Rubens - 1610

_

FTER these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

We pray in particular on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and throughout the Mideast. The members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, some of which date from the days of the Apostles, suffer under cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."

[Silentgypsy]

Seems like everything, including Peter’s denial, had a purpose—maybe to strengthen his faith for the road ahead?

Amen. I have been through some horrible stuff, and at the time, could NOT understand why God would allow these things to happen to me.

Looking back, I am able to see how these tragedies have helped prepare me for ministry.

[Silentgypsy]

Yes, each situation was a learning experience, and each person whom I believed had done a disservice was actually a teacher. (Teaching me to avoid such clowns in the future, lol!)

Bass? Culinary school?
One plays for his supper. The other makes support. Make perfect sense. ;)

Joining in prayer, left that other site, for the Peace of Jerusalem and for protection of our borders—both in Israel and America.

[NEWwoman]

I meant: Bass player plays for his supper. Culinary school graduate makes supper.

Darn that auto-correct.
