<p>21:11<em> Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken</em>- Again we see the enthusiasm and yet clumsiness of Peter; the Lord had asked for &quot;some of the fish&quot;, and Peter drags the entire net full of 153 fish to the Lord. Although 153 is the numerical value of &quot;sons of God&quot;, 153 was the number of species of fish which were understood to exist in the sea. This wrong idea was used by the Lord. These men were fishermen, who thought they knew all about fish; and He uses their incorrect science to make His point. With His help, they could bring representatives of all nations into the Gospel net. He would send fish to them; and we need to sense this too rather than preaching in our own strength, praying daily for the Lord to send people to us. The unbroken net speaks of how in the power of the Spirit, we will be provided with the resources, fully stretched as they may be, in order to fulfil His bidding in the great commission.</p>
