In this episode of Bible Bytes, we delve into the post-resurrection appearance of Jesus at the Sea of Tiberias, exploring the profound lessons of obedience, trust, and spiritual perception. Host Randy Black guides us through John 21:4-11, where the disciples, returning to their familiar occupation of fishing, experience a miraculous catch of fish by following Jesus’s command. This event not only reinforces the importance of recognizing Jesus in our daily lives but also highlights the abundant yet sustaining nature of God’s blessings.
We reflect on four key takeaways from this scripture: obedience to Christ leads to abundance, the necessity of spiritual awareness, Jesus as our provider, and the sustaining nature of God’s blessings. The episode encourages listeners to trust in God’s guidance, recognize His presence, and embrace His provision. As we conclude our series on the miracles of Jesus, we prepare to embark on a new journey exploring the women of the Bible, starting with Eve’s role in God’s plan. Join us as we continue to inspire faith one bite at a time.

6
00:00:58,280 –> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: I’m your host.
7
00:00:59,360 –> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: Randy Black.
8
00:01:01,760 –> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples many times, reinforcing his teachings and prepping them for their mission
9
00:01:10,939 –> 00:01:22,700
Speaker 2: One of these encounters occurred at the Sea of Tiberias, where the disciples, having returned to fishing, experienced a miraculous catch of fish when they followed Jesus’ command.
10
00:01:22,640 –> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: This event teaches us about obedience, trust, and recognizing Jesus in our daily lives.
11
00:01:30,560 –> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: As we do with each episode, let’s open up with a word of prayer.
12
00:01:35,460 –> 00:01:39,460
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we come before you with hearts open to your word.
13
00:01:39,460 –> 00:01:46,900
Speaker 2: Just as you revealed yourself to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, reveal yourself to us today through this lesson
14
00:01:46,960 –> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: Teach us to trust in your guidance, to listen to your voice, and to recognize your presence in our lives.
15
00:01:54,320 –> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: May we be faithful in obedience and diligent in following you
16
00:01:59,140 –> 00:02:01,300
Speaker 2: In Jesus’ name we pray.
17
00:02:01,300 –> 00:02:02,580
Speaker 2: Amen.
18
00:02:11,300 –> 00:02:13,860
Speaker 3: John chapter twenty-one verses four through eleven.
19
00:02:15,180 –> 00:02:21,819
Speaker 3: But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
20
00:02:21,819 –> 00:02:26,780
Speaker 3: So Jesus said to them, Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you?
21
00:02:26,780 –> 00:02:28,379
Speaker 3: They answered him, No.
22
00:02:28,900 –> 00:02:34,019
Speaker 3: And he said to them, Cast the net on the right hand side of the boat, and you will find the fish.
23
00:02:34,019 –> 00:02:39,620
Speaker 3: So they cast it, and then they were not able to haul it in, because of the great quantity of fish.
24
00:02:41,540 –> 00:02:43,540
Speaker 3: Therefore the disciple whom Jesus loves,
25
00:02:44,060 –> 00:02:46,140
Speaker 3: said to Peter, It is the Lord.
26
00:02:46,140 –> 00:02:52,060
Speaker 3: So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment and threw himself into the sea.
27
00:02:52,060 –> 00:02:58,860
Speaker 3: But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away, dragging.
28
00:03:03,860 –> 00:03:11,780
Speaker 3: So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already made, and fish placed on it, and bread.
29
00:03:11,780 –> 00:03:13,540
Speaker 3: Jesus said to them, Bring some
30
00:03:14,220 –> 00:03:16,140
Speaker 3: of the fish which you have now caught.
31
00:03:16,140 –> 00:03:25,420
Speaker 3: So Simon Peter went up and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153, and although there were so many the net was not torn.
32
00:03:30,180 –> 00:03:39,299
Speaker 2: This passage takes place after Jesus’ resurrection, at a time when the disciples were unsure of their next steps.
33
00:03:39,299 –> 00:03:43,379
Speaker 2: They had returned to fishing, a familiar occupation, but
34
00:03:43,500 –> 00:03:46,860
Speaker 2: They toiled all night without success.
35
00:03:46,860 –> 00:03:52,620
Speaker 2: At dawn, Jesus appeared on the shore, though they did not recognize him at first.
36
00:03:52,879 –> 00:04:01,519
Speaker 2: instructed them to cast their net on the right hand side of the boat, and when they obeyed, their net was filled beyond expectation
37
00:04:02,459 –> 00:04:13,659
Speaker 2: The miraculous catch here mirrors an earlier event recorded in Luke 5, verses 1 through 11, where Jesus first called Peter and the other disciples to follow him.
38
00:04:14,020 –> 00:04:20,739
Speaker 2: In both instances, their obedience led to an overwhelming blessing.
39
00:04:20,739 –> 00:04:28,419
Speaker 2: This repetition reinforces the lesson that success comes not from human effort alone,
40
00:04:28,240 –> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: but from following Jesus’ direction.
41
00:04:32,560 –> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was the first to recognize the Lord
42
00:04:38,539 –> 00:04:44,539
Speaker 2: His spiritual perception enabled him to see what others had not yet realized.
43
00:04:44,539 –> 00:04:47,340
Speaker 2: Upon hearing John’s declaration, Peter
44
00:04:47,639 –> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: full of zeal as always, immediately jumped into the water to reach Jesus as quickly as possible.
45
00:04:53,960 –> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: This contrast between John’s recognition
46
00:04:56,680 –> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: And Peter’s impulsive reaction highlights the different ways believers respond to Jesus’ presence.
47
00:05:04,200 –> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: Jesus had already prepared a meal for them on the shore, demonstrating his provision and his care.
48
00:05:10,720 –> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: Despite their efforts, it was ultimately Christ who sustained them.
49
00:05:15,520 –> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: The number of fish, a hundred and fifty-three, has been widely discussed
50
00:05:20,460 –> 00:05:27,659
Speaker 2: But the key takeaway is that despite the large quantity, the net did not break
51
00:05:28,420 –> 00:05:39,060
Speaker 2: This symbolizes how God’s provision is abundant yet sustaining, reinforcing the idea that his blessings do not overwhelm, but fulfill
52
00:05:40,580 –> 00:05:44,740
Speaker 2: We have four key takeaways from their scripture today.
53
00:05:44,740 –> 00:05:48,580
Speaker 2: The first is that obedience to Christ leads to abundance
54
00:05:49,139 –> 00:05:59,139
Speaker 2: The disciples had fished all night without catching anything, yet when they followed Jesus’ command, they caught an overwhelming number of fish
55
00:05:59,240 –> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: This teaches us that no matter how hard we work in our own strength, true success comes when we align ourselves with God’s direction.
56
00:06:09,460 –> 00:06:16,180
Speaker 2: Obedience does not always make sense from a human perspective, but God sees the bigger picture.
57
00:06:16,180 –> 00:06:22,500
Speaker 2: When we trust in his guidance, he blesses our efforts beyond what we could achieve on our own
58
00:06:22,539 –> 00:06:32,780
Speaker 2: Just as the disciples experienced abundance after obeying Jesus, we too can experience his provision when we submit to his will.
59
00:06:33,840 –> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: Our second takeaway is that spiritual perception is crucial.
60
00:06:38,720 –> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: John was the first to recognize Jesus even before anyone else understood what was happening.
61
00:06:46,320 –> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: This highlights the importance of being spiritually aware and discerning God’s presence in our lives
62
00:06:55,840 –> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes Jesus is right in front of us, but our doubts, distractions, or expectations keep us from recognizing him.
63
00:07:06,140 –> 00:07:14,460
Speaker 2: Cultivating a close relationship with Christ through prayer and scripture helps us to develop this awareness
64
00:07:15,180 –> 00:07:23,180
Speaker 2: Like John, we should strive to see God’s hand at work, even in the ordinary moments.
65
00:07:25,120 –> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: Our third takeaway is that Jesus is our provider.
66
00:07:30,720 –> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Before the disciples even brought their fish to shore, Jesus had already prepared a meal for them.
67
00:07:38,640 –> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: This illustrates that God knows our needs before we do, and He provides in ways we may not expect
68
00:07:47,340 –> 00:07:53,180
Speaker 2: While human effort is important, it is ultimately God who sustains us.
69
00:07:53,180 –> 00:07:56,300
Speaker 2: Jesus’ act of serving food to the disciples
70
00:07:57,100 –> 00:08:07,900
Speaker 2: also reflects his love and his care for us, reminding us that he’s not only our Lord, but also our provider and sustainer
71
00:08:08,680 –> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: We can trust Him to meet our physical and our spiritual needs.
72
00:08:15,960 –> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: Our last takeaway here is that God’s blessings are abundant yet sustaining
73
00:08:21,960 –> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: Despite catching a hundred and fifty three large fish, the disciples net did not break
74
00:08:29,539 –> 00:08:37,060
Speaker 2: This is a powerful symbol of how God’s blessings are not meant to overwhelm us, but to equip and strengthen us
75
00:08:37,979 –> 00:08:46,860
Speaker 2: Sometimes we we fear that receiving too much responsibility, success, or provision will be more than we can handle
76
00:08:47,120 –> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: However, just as the net held firm, God ensures that whatever he gives us will not be too much for us to bear
77
00:08:56,240 –> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: His blessings are designed to sustain and to empower us for his purpose, not to burden us
78
00:09:08,199 –> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: How often do we, like the disciples, return to what is familiar when we face uncertainty
79
00:09:14,820 –> 00:09:22,260
Speaker 2: After the resurrection, the disciples had been called to spread the gospel, yet they reverted to fishing
80
00:09:23,180 –> 00:09:28,620
Speaker 2: This can mirror our own lives when we struggle to step forward in faith.
81
00:09:30,540 –> 00:09:33,660
Speaker 2: Jesus met them in their familiar place.
82
00:09:33,920 –> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: Much like the the way he meets us where we are.
83
00:09:38,160 –> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: However, he did not leave them there.
84
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:43,279
Speaker 2: He redirected them.
85
00:09:43,440 –> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: This teaches us that while Jesus understands our struggles, he also calls us to a greater purpose beyond our comfort zones.
86
00:09:56,360 –> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: John’s recognition of Jesus reminds us of the importance of spiritual awareness
87
00:10:03,620 –> 00:10:09,060
Speaker 2: Do we take time to discern Christ’s presence in our daily lives?
88
00:10:09,060 –> 00:10:18,260
Speaker 2: Often we can be so focused on our struggles that we fail to see Him standing right before us.
89
00:10:18,120 –> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: Guiding us to abundance.
90
00:10:21,560 –> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: Peter’s response, jumping into the water, demonstrates a deep love and eagerness for Jesus
91
00:10:30,520 –> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: Do we have the same enthusiasm to be near Christ?
92
00:10:34,520 –> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: Do we run to Him in faith?
93
00:10:36,920 –> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: Or do we hesitate
94
00:10:40,100 –> 00:10:47,779
Speaker 2: Lastly, Jesus’ preparation of the meal signifies his care for our needs.
95
00:10:47,779 –> 00:10:52,660
Speaker 2: Even before the disciples arrived, he had already made provision
96
00:10:52,920 –> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: This reassures us that God sees our needs and meets them in His perfect timing
97
00:11:03,620 –> 00:11:09,540
Speaker 2: Let’s close out our study of the Scripture with a word of prayer.
98
00:11:09,540 –> 00:11:10,740
Speaker 2: Lord.
99
00:11:11,160 –> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: Thank you for teaching us through this passage in the Gospel of John.
100
00:11:15,800 –> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 2: Help us to recognize your presence in our daily lives and listen to you for guidance
101
00:11:24,240 –> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: May we trust in your provision, obey your direction, and seek you with eagerness and with love
102
00:11:35,040 –> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: Strengthen our faith and remind us that you are our provider.
103
00:11:41,280 –> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: As we go forth, may we walk in obedience and trust in your perfect plan.
104
00:11:49,079 –> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: It is in the name of your son Jesus we pray.
105
00:11:53,160 –> 00:11:54,759
Speaker 2: Amen.

110
00:12:13,040 –> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: Here at Bible Bytes we operate this podcast under under what is called the
111
00:12:17,720 –> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: value for value model.
112
00:12:19,880 –> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: And our hope is that we are providing value to you with the work we do each and every week by putting out our episodes
113
00:12:26,900 –> 00:12:31,060
Speaker 2: And that you then would in turn provide value back to us.
114
00:12:31,060 –> 00:12:33,620
Speaker 2: And that can come in three different forms under this model.
115
00:12:33,620 –> 00:12:37,300
Speaker 2: We refer to them as time, talent, and treasure.
116
00:12:37,740 –> 00:12:42,540
Speaker 2: Time is as simple as taking the time to listen to our episode each week.
117
00:12:42,540 –> 00:12:46,140
Speaker 2: You can also take the time to share it with someone else that you feel may
118
00:12:46,720 –> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: get something from it uh where it may guide them to to accept Jesus as their savior and become a Christian.
119
00:12:56,399 –> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: talent would be offering to assist us in some way with the show.
120
00:13:00,160 –> 00:13:06,639
Speaker 2: That could be by providing ideas for uh uh for lessons, topics we can look at, scriptures we can look at.
121
00:13:06,639 –> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: It could be helping us by designing cover art.
122
00:13:09,339 –> 00:13:10,860
Speaker 2: to use on our episodes.
123
00:13:10,860 –> 00:13:17,500
Speaker 2: Uh and it could even be offering to or script out or write out an entire lesson to use on the show.
124
00:13:17,620 –> 00:13:27,700
Speaker 2: And the big one, and I hope someone someday may take us up on this offer, but offer to take part in the show, to record and be on a broadcast.
125
00:13:29,000 –> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: Treasure by its name implies it is something that m most likely is financial, and we do have costs associated with producing and running the show.
126
00:13:37,960 –> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: Uh and you can assist us with those.
127
00:13:39,560 –> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: If you’re listening in a
128
00:13:41,900 –> 00:13:43,500
Speaker 2: modern podcast app.
129
00:13:43,820 –> 00:13:47,900
Speaker 2: I recommend currently Fountain because they have the easiest way to do this.
130
00:13:48,220 –> 00:13:52,460
Speaker 2: You can set up a wallet there and it with that with other tools like Strike.
131
00:13:52,540 –> 00:14:01,019
Speaker 2: Um, you can load that wallet up, and that wallet would then hold Satoshis, and Satoshis are very, very small amounts of Bitcoin.
132
00:14:01,180 –> 00:14:08,220
Speaker 2: And you can choose to stream Satoshis two shows, two podcasts that support it as you listen to them.
133
00:14:08,460 –> 00:14:10,060
Speaker 2: And that you have full control of that.
134
00:14:10,060 –> 00:14:14,300
Speaker 2: If you want to do 10 Satoshis, 10 sats a minute, you can do that
135
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: If you want to do 500 sites a minute, you can do that.
136
00:14:16,880 –> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: And that value goes directly to the podcast goes in a way that fits with the way they’ve designed their splits for their costs and things.
137
00:14:26,339 –> 00:14:27,540
Speaker 2: You can also send a boost.
138
00:14:27,540 –> 00:14:33,060
Speaker 2: A boost is a one-time pledge of support in an amount of Satoshis to a podcast through those apps.
139
00:14:33,300 –> 00:14:36,899
Speaker 2: Or a Boostigram, which is a boost that then has a message attached.
140
00:14:36,899 –> 00:14:38,500
Speaker 2: So you can give some encouragement.
141
00:14:38,740 –> 00:14:41,060
Speaker 2: And here on this show, we encourage you to.
142
00:14:41,040 –> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: To use that if you choose to provide us support, but also send prayer requests to us at the same exact time.
143
00:14:48,240 –> 00:14:51,519
Speaker 2: The other way you can do that is uh heading over to our website.
144
00:14:51,519 –> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: On our website we have
145
00:14:53,500 –> 00:15:03,500
Speaker 2: A page there about value for value, and on that page we’ve embedded a widget from PayPal that’ll allow you to provide a pledge of support to us one time, or you can make it
146
00:15:03,560 –> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: reoccurring, ongoing, um through PayPal, through Venmo.

00:15:13,440 –> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: Um and Strike.
150
00:15:14,720 –> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: Both of those are means that you can provide support.
151
00:15:16,800 –> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: Albi is uh geared at uh the bet the Bitcoin world and then the wallets and lightning wallets.
152
00:15:23,360 –> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: Uh Strike does that, but Strike also can be linked to your bank and you can pay
153
00:15:28,040 –> 00:15:32,279

Speaker 2: And we use a service called Auphonic and we have a link there
155
00:15:35,820 –> 00:15:47,260
Speaker 2: Where you can purchase one-time credits on Auphonic for us as a way of giving us support and letting us uh continue to produce the show uh in the way we do.
156
00:15:47,740 –> 00:15:58,060
Speaker 2: If you’re interested in learning more about the Value for Value model and how it is that we apply it to this show and use it, you can head over to our website and read up on it.
157
00:15:57,700 –> 00:15:59,940
Speaker 2: You go to bible dashbytes.

160
00:16:11,759 –> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: and the letter V.
161
00:16:14,880 –> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: If you have a prayer request, we would hope that you would reach out to us and share it with us.
162
00:16:18,720 –> 00:16:20,399
Speaker 2: We can do that through a Boostigram.
163
00:16:20,459 –> 00:16:22,540

Speaker 2: You can fill out and send that in.
166
00:16:26,540 –> 00:16:29,580
Speaker 2: And the goal of that would be so that we can share it on the show.
167
00:16:29,259 –> 00:16:35,980
Speaker 2: So that we can, as an audience, work together to lift those prayers up to the Lord.

Speaker 2: Um it didn’t start off great.
179
00:17:28,580 –> 00:17:33,140
Speaker 2: The first sensor that we put on failed uh and it is being replaced by the manufacturer.
180
00:17:33,140 –> 00:17:36,740
Speaker 2: So that’s that’s a good thing um because it there it’s not a
181
00:17:36,960 –> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 2: It’s not a cheap product.
182
00:17:38,400 –> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: It was yeah.
183
00:17:39,360 –> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: It was a nice little chunk of change for six of them for 90 days.
184
00:17:43,280 –> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: Uh, but you know, I’m still going through the process.
185
00:17:45,520 –> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: Uh, I’m learning how things are affecting me over the last couple days as I eat them
186
00:17:49,960 –> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 2: uh as I drink them.
187
00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: So I know where I stand in that process.
188
00:17:54,440 –> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: And it’s going to be a learning curve and hopefully it’s going to help me to get into a better position with my health as I continue to work through these things
189
00:18:03,140 –> 00:18:11,300
Speaker 2: As we do each week before we close out the show and talk about our next episode, let’s take these requests to the Lord.
190
00:18:12,240 –> 00:18:21,039
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, thank you one more time for letting us come together and gather and share your word and learn from it.
191
00:18:20,940 –> 00:18:24,139
Speaker 2: We have these requests, we’re throwing them to you.
192
00:18:24,139 –> 00:18:27,659
Speaker 2: My parents, our friends Greg and Kim, Kevin, myself
193
00:18:28,560 –> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: And also any unspoken requests that those who listen to the show might have that they haven’t shared with us, you know those requests and you know those needs.
194
00:18:36,860 –> 00:18:42,220
Speaker 2: And we have faith in you, that you will provide an answer to them that fits within your will.
195
00:18:42,220 –> 00:18:49,100
Speaker 2: And we may not understand that, but we know that it is it is within your will, and there is a greater purpose.
196
00:18:48,940 –> 00:18:54,700
Speaker 2: for whatever decision or whatever answer you give us to those prayers.
197
00:18:54,700 –> 00:18:59,820
Speaker 2: We want to thank you again as we continue to work and thrive each week to share
198
00:19:00,220 –> 00:19:03,180
Speaker 2: your word with the world through this podcast.
199
00:19:03,180 –> 00:19:09,020
Speaker 2: And that hopefully someone will hear it that needs your son Jesus as their Savior.
200
00:19:09,020 –> 00:19:13,020
Speaker 2: And they accept him so they can then be saved and spend eternity in heaven.
201
00:19:12,860 –> 00:19:17,179
Speaker 2: With all the rest of us who are saved, and with you and with your son.
202
00:19:17,179 –> 00:19:20,779
Speaker 2: And it is in your son’s name, Jesus’ name that we pray.
203
00:19:20,779 –> 00:19:21,740
Speaker 2: Amen.
204
00:19:23,040 –> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: So in the next episode of Bible Bites, we’re actually starting a new series.
205
00:19:26,480 –> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: We finished our series here on the miracles of Jesus, but we’re going to start a new series on women of the Bible.
206
00:19:32,400 –> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: Uh we’re gonna do two or three episodes on each woman as we talk about them.
207
00:19:36,240 –> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: Uh I have a list of twenty so far, so this is gonna take us a little while to go through them.
208
00:19:41,840 –> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: Um but we’re gonna start out with
209
00:19:44,240 –> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: The first woman.
210
00:19:45,040 –> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: We’re going to start off with the creation of woman and look at Eve’s role in God’s plan.
211
00:19:51,680 –> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: If you want to read the scripture for that ahead of time, head back to the book of Genesis, chapter 2
212
00:19:57,419 –> 00:20:00,700
