Some have suggested that the incident of the miraculous catch of fish in John 21 seems to be a strange and anticlimactic ending after Thomas' heartfelt worship, but the whole narrative is symbolic of Jesus Christ's rule over the church, broadening the disciples' task of becoming not only fishers of men (at their calling) to shepherds of His flocks (at their solemn commission). The episode in John 21, with an intact net of 153 fish, could be a significant epilogue of an earlier incident (recorded in Luke 5:5-10) in which a large net with many sea creatures was torn. The first episode could have represented largescale evangelism of the world, while the net with 153 fish represented preparing a Church of specific called-out ones, the Israel of God (Galatians 6:16). The second miracle punctuated the lesson that: 1.) God's people cannot do anything without the help of Christ. 2.) We must seek God while He is found, realizing that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. 3.) The Lord sends blessings to those who diligently seek Him. 4.) When God's people obey His instruction, they can see the Lord. 5.) Christ commands His followers to come and eat, come and see, come and learn, come and rest, and come and inherit life. We should be as eager as the apostle Peter to commit to the service of Christ, namely serving and feeding God's flock, realizing that without the power of Jesus Christ, they are helpless.
