Peter declared he was going fishing. After Jesus died and rose from the dead, life is different. So Peter returns to what is familiar. Perhaps time in the boat will allow Peter to think and process the events of the past week. By telling the others what he was doing, some choose to join him. It’s a good thing John went with him.
As Jesus stands on the shore and tells them to cast the net on the other side, only John realizes who is speaking to them. He cries out, “It is the Lord.” Peter needed John to tell him, and Peter’s response is that of a true disciple.
At times, we all need someone to fill the role of John, and sometimes we are called to be John to another. Be on the lookout for the Lord, and do not be afraid to point him out when you find him.
Amen.

I have had a severe health issue going on for over a year now. I had almost given up that God was trying to help me. But recently I have seen where a door was closed on me and I was so upset and recently I have seen where the door that was closed on me was the right thing because something better happened. The Lord is navigating me through this!
