Jesus Matters Most | John 21:1-14

God has blessed us in so many ways. Unfortunately, sometimes we get so focused on the gifts that we forget about the Giver of all good things! After Jesus rose again from the dead, He appeared to His disciples several times. One time the disciples were fishing and Jesus appeared to them on the shore after a night of catching nothing. Jesus told them to put their nets on the right side of the boat and when they did they caught almost more fish than they could handle. As soon as John said, “It’s the Lord!” Peter jumped right out of the boat and swam to Jesus. Peter knew what was most important, it wasn’t the good things they were given but the Giver of all good things! We should absolutely be grateful for God’s blessings, but we must remember that Jesus matters most.
