“Cast the net on the ship’s right side, and you will find fish.”(John 21:6) This is not the first time that Jesus has instructed Peter on how to cast his net. Another time was when Jesus was preaching on Peter’s boat. He instructed Peter to cast the net into the deep. In both instances Peter has spent the whole night fishing but caught nothing. Ever since Peter followed Jesus’ instructions, however, both times the net was filled with fish. Peter’s response to Jesus’ instructions was one of humility. The first time, because Jesus was still on the boat, Peter immediately kneeled at Jesus’ feet and said, “Lord, please go away from me, for I am a sinner.” The second time, when Jesus was on the shore, John said to Peter, “It’s the Lord.” Peter immediately jumped into the water. Thus when Peter said, “I am a sinner.”he might have been doubtful because after all, he was an experienced fisherman, while Jesus was only a carpenter. Nonetheless Jesus invited him to become a fisher of men. This time, after sharing breakfast, Jesus asked Peter thrice: “Do you love me?” and Peter affirmed thrice by saying “Lord, yes, you know I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Pastor my sheep.” The calling that Jesus made to Peter has always been the same. However it is still necessary for Peter to respond. God has prepared different graces for us – but he needs us to ask for them.
