HE IS RISEN — Episode 5: Breakfast on the Beach Based on John 21:1-14 Series: He Is Risen | Target Age: 7-15

I want to tell you about a morning that might surprise you. After the most important event in human history — my resurrection from the dead — you might expect me to do something dramatic. Summon the nations. Appear in the temple. Announce myself to kings. But instead? I made breakfast.

Here is what happened. Some of my disciples — Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, James, John, and two others — had gone back to the Sea of Galilee. Peter said, "I am going out to fish." The others said, "We will go with you." So they got in a boat, pushed out onto the dark water, and fished all night long.

They caught absolutely nothing. Not a single fish. All night. Every cast, empty. Every net, empty. Hours and hours of work with nothing to show for it.

This story comes from Matthew/Luke/Acts and is part of the New Testament.
