One of my favorite stories in the Bible is found in John 21. Peter had been fishing all night without catching any fish. From the beach, Jesus instructed Peter to cast the net on the other side of the boat.
Peter caught 156 Fish!
When Peter got the fish to shore, he saw that Jesus already had fish cooking.
How did Jesus get His fish?
I think He just needed a frying pan and his index finger. He commanded those fish to jump right out of the ocean into his frying pan!
Jesus looked over at Peter’s fish and said,
“What do you have there? Do you have some fish? Why don’t you bring some of yours and put it with mine. We’ll eat together.”
I love that! Jesus didn’t need their fish, but he let them mix what they had with what He had.
To me that has become an illustration of ministry. He doesn’t need anything that we have. But He lets us use our meager gifts and invites us to let them mix with all that He has so that people can be fed.
Jesus is awesome!
