SERMONSEaster 3, 2016 INI John 21:1-14
According to the calendar spring is here even though lately it’s felt more like winter. Anyway, when spring comes many people look forward to do some fishing. I know I do. I hope to get out there and catch something. Maybe even like the one I landed last year.
Seriously, though, I do like fishing. It’s nice to be outdoors and just sit and relax and enjoy the view. I remember how beautiful it was at Lake Itasca in northern MN when we went fishing there. Got out on the boat early in the morning and watched the sun rise. Unfortunately, we weren’t catching much. But a little later another fisherman came by and directed us to where the fish were biting. We listened to him and soon we were catching fish too.
I like to go to bait shops or talk with others who have been or are fishing. They usually can tell you if the fish are biting and where. So I usually listen to them and when I do I usually catch fish. Just because I listened to someone.
That’s kind of what happened with the disciples. They listened to someone but that someone was Jesus. They had gone fishing but they hadn’t caught any fish. They were close to shore when Jesus came walking by and asked if they had caught anything. They answered, “No!” So then Jesus told them to try on the right side of the boat. They did and lo and behold soon their nets were full, all because they listened to Jesus. That’s our lesson for today
LISTEN TO JESUS
The disciples listened to him (1)
Sometime after Jesus appeared to his disciples the week after Easter they made their way to the southern province. As they did they traveled along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Who knows, they might have even stopped at their old homes along the way since they used to live in that area. The Sea of Galilee was where they used to earn a living fishing.
So now they were back on the shores of Galilee and Peter decided to go fishing. He invited the others to come along and they did. Who knows why Peter decided to go fishing. Perhaps it was the sight of the boats in the water or maybe simply his love for his former occupation.
So they all went fishing. Perhaps they even thought that if their fishing expedition was successful they might even earn some money. But that was not to be. They fished all night and didn’t catch anything. Dawn came and they were tired and discouraged. All they had to show for their hard work was blisters on their hands.
As they started to row to shore they saw someone standing there. At first they didn’t realize it was Jesus. This was another one of his appearances where his body could become invisible or change appearance. That’s why they didn’t recognize him right away. Anyway, he called out and asked if they had caught anything. “No,” they told him. So then he told them to try on the right side of the boat. They listened to him and did as he said and soon their nets were full.
All of a sudden John realized who the man on the shore was. He told Peter, “It is the Lord.” Impetuous Peter quickly jumped into the water and swam to shore. The rest rowed to shore dragging that net full of fish. By then they all realized that Jesus had performed a miracle. They had been witnesses to that miracle because they listened to him.
We too need to listen to Jesus (2).
You and I tend to get involved in a lot of fruitless fishing. In spite of the inspiration of Lent, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, our faith tends to be on a roller coaster, like we talked about last week. We’re all excited about the Lord’s payment for our sins and his resurrection and all it means to us. We say we don’t have any doubts about his resurrection or his presence in our hearts and lives. We say we believe in him and that we trust him. We’re up.
But, it isn’t long and we’re back to talking and acting like he’s still in the grave. We’re down. Easter morning is a bright and glorious time for us. We feel good, we’re excited, we’re happy. Easter fills us with the determination to drown the old Adam in us so that a rising to new life will take place within us. We’re determined to live for the Lord.
Unfortunately, all too often that determination is short lived. It doesn’t take long to go back to being spiritually indifferent; it doesn’t take long to go back to living like the rest of the world. Soon the excitement, the happiness and joy are gone and we’re filled with sadness, gloom and despair. We’re back to acting like the Savior is no longer with us at all times. We forget he’s promised to be with us always, even to the end of the world.
How can that be? How can there be sadness and despair in the presence of the risen and living Lord and Savior? How can we be indifferent to the One who died in our place to rescue us from sin and damnation? How can we ignore the Savior and not live for him when he’s the One that suffered our punishment for our sins in our place? How can we not tell the rest of the world that because of him we have the promise that we’ll spend eternity in heaven after life in this world is over?
Isn’t it amazing that in spite of all these wonderful blessings you and I still often tend to cast our spiritual nets in the wrong places? Why is that? It’s because we’re not listening to our Lord. That’s why our nets are empty and that’s why we worry so much and get so discouraged. That’s why we grumble and complain so much? Without the assurance and awareness of the Lord’s presence, when we don’t listen to Jesus, it’s a long dark, miserable night of fruitless fishing.
This morning by the grace of God Jesus stands on the shores of your life and mine and says; “How’s the fishing? Are you getting anything worthwhile out of your life as you’re living it?”
He’s reminding us that he came into this world so we could have life. Not a life of sin and disappointment, not a life where we’re just like the unbelievers. But rather, abundant life, a life lived for him and with him.
Once we realize how often we listen to our sinful nature instead of listening to him, once we realize that this is the reason for our failures, then perhaps we’ll listen to him and turn to his Word. When you do that, when you turn to Jesus in his Word, he’ll show you where to cast your nets so you receive all those wonderful blessings he has for you.
What a difference it makes when Jesus enters our troubled hearts and trembling souls. What a difference it makes when Jesus stands on the shores of our lives, directing us, watching over us as we struggle, as we’re tossed about on the sea of life.
Do you realize that now, at this very moment, the Lord is waiting for you to be his grateful guest? He waiting for you to partake of all the wonderful, heavenly blessings he has prepared for you. None of us can even begin to imagine all the blessings that will be ours as we humbly listen to Jesus and cast our nets where he tells us too.
When you listen to Jesus your nets will no longer be empty, life will not be boring our meaningless. Instead, when you listen to Jesus and follow his will each moment will reveal a blessing from the Lord. He’ll shower you with the blessings of faith, kindness, purity, honesty, courage, peace and hope; all your nets can hold and more.
With Peter you’ll cry out, “It’s the Lord.” Like the apostle John you’ll love him even more than before. Like Peter, you’ll want to quickly get closer to him than before. When you are listening to Jesus he will be the focus and center of your life. Your life will take on a new purpose, new meaning and new joy.
When you listen to Jesus, really and truly listen to him, everything in life will change; including your personal relationship to God and other people. Whether you realize it or not, your relationship to God is or at least ought to be, the most important relationship in your life. I realize that may seem extreme, especially since we’re surrounded by secularism and materialism.
Secularism tries to rule God out of everything. An example would be those who want to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance. Another example would be those who object to the 10 Commandments or a nativity scene being on display in a public building. Materialism, on the other hand, puts more value on things of the world, tangible things, than it does on spiritual things, things that have to do with God and the human soul.
Those who listen to any of these or other worldly religions or philosophies will be self-centered and selfish and will live futile, fruitless lives. That’s one reason it’s so very important to examine your relationship to God. You can do that by asking yourself a few questions. For example, say to yourself; “How much does God really mean to me? How important is it to me that Jesus lived, died and rose again for me?”
The answers to those questions depend on how well you know God and how well you know yourself. If you don’t admit that you’re a lost and condemned sinner, sinful by nature, then you won’t see the need for Jesus to save you. If you think you can earn your way to heaven by what you do and don’t do, then you’re not trusting in Jesus to save you; you’re not trusting him for forgiveness of sins.
If you become upset or angry when your sins are pointed out to you, if you think sin and damnation are not real, then you’re not listening to Jesus. If you don’t take God and his Word seriously, if you think God won’t mind that you only come to hear his Word and worship him occasionally, if you think you can live like the rest of the world at other times, then your soul is surrounded by death and darkness.
Today your Savior is confronting you with a question; “Any luck in worthwhile living? Listen to me! Try fishing where I tell you, on the right side. When you listen to Jesus, when he’s the center of your life, then you’ll be able to say with all sincerity, “I was lost, but Jesus found me. I believe that Jesus is my only hope for forgiveness of sin and the only way to get to heaven. I believe that he is my Savior and that his promises are true. He is my Lord who will take me to heaven because he loves me.”
After the disciples made their miraculous catch of fish they dragged their nets to shore. There they enjoyed the comforts the Lord provided, fire to warm them, food to satisfy their hunger, and comfort and rest in the presence of the risen and living Lord and Savior.
So it will be for us when we have finished our fishing and drawn our nets, filled with the blessings of Christ, to the shores of eternity. Christ will be there to offer the warmth of his love at heaven’s sacred fires. Our hunger will be satisfied at the Bridegroom’s wedding feast and our burdens lifted as we rest in his bosom forevermore. God grant that you always, always listen to Jesus. Amen.
