"Jesus is able to guide, to provide for, and to watch over His disciples just as well (better?) from a distance, as He is able to care for them 'up close and personal.' From 100 yards away, Jesus knew they had caught no fish. From 100 yards away, Jesus could guide them to an abundance of fish. Even before they saw Him, Jesus was prepared to provide for their needs. He had breakfast 'on the table,' so to speak, when they arrived on shore. Were the disciples uneasy about Jesus going away, about Jesus leaving them to return to His Father? Such fears are unfounded. He is just as able to care for them when He is in heaven as He was to care for them while He was on earth. I think this was a..." To read more, click link.

Growth Group / Personal Reflection Questions
1. In verses 4-7, the disciples don't immediately recognize Jesus. Have there been times in your life when Jesus was at work but you didn’t recognize it as Him? What happened for you to eventually realize it was Jesus at work?
2. In verse 6, Jesus tells the disciples to cast their net on the right side of the boat and they catch a great number of fish. What does this teach us about obedience to Jesus, even when things don’t seem logical? Can you share a time when (a possibly illogical) obedience to God led to an unexpected blessing?
3. In verses 15-17, Peter is "restored" and "upgraded". What does this teach us about Jesus’ grace and restoration in our own lives?
4. Jesus tells Peter, “Feed my sheep.” How does our love for Jesus show itself in serving and caring for others? In what ways can we “feed” those around us spiritually and practically?
5. What might be some foreseeable costs of following God's calling in your life?
