John 21:6

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.

From Background Notes [BN] for March 15th & 16th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Was it not the unexpectedness of catching so many fish that compelled these men to “leave everything and follow him”? If that could be true of ordinary things, what hope does that present in Jesus’ strange offer: “from now on you will be catching people”?

Through the power of the natural order which still conceals its secrets from our technology, the God of Creation confounds our understanding so that he might challenge our hearts for even great things than these. Perhaps this is why Jesus’ re-performed his fishing miracle after his resurrection to remind his followers about the future of human fishers empowered by his new life. [BN, 4]
