Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary

spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and

Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up. Welcome, day two, as we are studying John chapter 21. We're looking at

one of the most famous resurrection passages, and we can learn a lot from it. We're going to pick it up

in chapter 21, verse one. We're going to reread some of this stuff. It says this, after this,

Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the sea of Tiberius,

and he revealed himself in this way.

Simon Peter, Thomas called the twin, Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee,

and two others of his disciples were together.

And Simon Peter said to them, I'm going fishing, and they said to him, we will go with you. And they went out and got

in the boat, but that night, they caught nothing. This is a really, really big deal. Let me tell you

this. Apart from Christ, you're going to get nothing. If you rely on yourself and your old habits and

you're always, you're going to wind up with nothing.

Even if you used to be a professional fisherman, Jesus says in John 15, apart from me, you can do nothing.

And some of you are failing at life.

And the reason that you're failing at life is because you're trying to do it in your own strength.

You're trying to do it in your own power.

And all you're going to have at the end of your life and the end of your day is you. Why not do what Jesus tells you to do instead of doing it

your way? Verse four. And just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore, yet the disciples did not

know that it was Jesus. And Jesus said to them, children, do you have any fish?

Now, this is a shot.

He doesn't say young men.
