DON'T GO BACK

It's always easier to quit, to give up. To say, "I'll just go back to my old ways." That's what Peter did when Jesus died.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." - John 21:3

He went back to fishing. It's the trade that he left 3 years ago when he followed Jesus. But what can he do now that his Teacher is gone. No more Messiah to follow. So Peter thought, "It's easier to quit. I'll go back to my old ways."

And that attitude can easily influence others. The other disciples followed Peter.

They said to him, "We will go with you." - John 21:3

Was that a good move? Maybe not. Because when "they went out got into the boat"....."that night they caught nothing" (John 21:3).

Nothing. Zero.

Life may look difficult. It's so hard to be good. But don't go back to your old ways. Move forward. Follow The Way Himself & that is Jesus. Because Jesus meets you along the way. And when Jesus is with you great things will happen.

Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught." So Simon Peter went aboard & hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. - John 21:10-11

Awesome things happen when Jesus is present.

Don't go back. Keep moving forward. - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
