Matt4:18-20 John 21:1-19
Thank God for placing Hui Shian in our midst.
She has developed her own style of ushering us into self discovery in our inductive study.
Thank you for spending time to think of bridging questions in order for us to see more light
What really was useful was when you summarised observations to reiterate the point
I have been pleasantly surprised with how the Holy Spirit showed us new insights
As the Holy Spirit leads us in our preparation to complete our study next week, let us listen intently to what God has to say.
Fishy Coincidence You guys expounded on several interesting observations
Matt4:19 cross ref with Luke5:6
Jesus called his first disciples at the start of his ministry
He called Peter to be a Fisher of man ( clever word play on fisher-man )
Noteworthy - Jesus performed a spectacular miracle almost bursting the previously empty nets
Practical Peter discarded his nets and followed the Lord.
Fast forward to John 21:11
Jesus had died, resurrected and reappeared to his disciples.
He performed the same miracle this time with 153 fish
when he intended to call Peter into full time church building ministry
Fishy don't you think? Intentional or coincidental ?
Yes,Lord,You know I love you.Say only mah.
Talk is cheap.
Don't need to do anything wat.
Ha ha these are Kel's great one liners.
We concluded that Peter was that sort of person
shuo1 hua4 bu4 jing1 da4 nao3
so mean hor
but on reflection I think what he did was admirable too.
you know how difficult it is to profess brotherly or sisterly love
in this formula I <3 U?
He said it like quite naturally
and had to send it in, in triplicate some more.
Since Peter denied Jesus 3 times not so long ago
Jesus also gave Peter 3 chances to affirm his love.
Case of simple maths tit for tat.
Well Jesus wants us to feed/ love/ serve/ be responsible for / look after/ follow up
our lambs and sheep.
Otherwise I cannot claim that I love Him.
That's my lesson that's my take home message todsy.
Lambs, Sheep they are not silly
They are simply lost.
Amasing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now am found
Was blind but now I see.
