Hey church, it is Devo time. So if you've got your Bibles, we're going to be in John

Chapter 21, where we're going to talk about Jesus after the resurrection and his encounter

with the disciples. So John 21, beginning of verse 1, says after this,

And the Bible says that he weeps bitterly.

And then they take his Lord and his Savior and crucify him dead and buried.

On the third day, he's resurrected.

But at this point, I think Peter is not just going fishing,

like I go fishing, like, hey, this is a fun hobby and a thing to do, but when Peter first became

a disciple, he was a fisherman. And so sometimes what happens when we don't understand what
