I took this short video while we were in China in 2007. The Chinese people really enjoy this kind of fish. We often call them goldfish. They are pretty and fun to watch.
In John 21 (The Message) we find this remembrance of a time when the disciples saw Jesus and began to understand who He really is.
Simon Peter announced, "I'm going fishing."
3-4The rest of them replied, "We're going with you." They went out and got in the boat. They caught nothing that night. When the sun came up, Jesus was standing on the beach, but they didn't recognize him.
5Jesus spoke to them: "Good morning! Did you catch anything for breakfast?"
They answered, "No."
6He said, "Throw the net off the right side of the boat and see what happens."
They did what he said. All of a sudden there were so many fish in it, they weren't strong enough to pull it in.
7-9Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Master!"
Do you see? The disciples were learning to obey Jesus. He is in charge of fish too. Do you obey Jesus like the disciples were learning to?
