says Chat night they caught nothing u
The second one says, now they were not
able to draw it for the multitude oil
fishcs.' They had the same nets and the
same fishermen and the same sea and the
same difficulties to contend with. Jesus
made the. difference by adding His own
power How many times we have toiled
How often we have grown weary. How
many days VIC have failed all because the
effort was in our own strength. Never be-
gin, a day until you strike step with Him
and clasp His hand in yours; then nothing
can overthrow you.
Third, as soon as they were come to
land they saw fire Of Goals. This is the
9th verse, There is only one other place
where this expression is used, and that Is
in the 18th verse of the 18th chapter ol
John, the place Of Peters denial. The
first thing that Peter saw was doubtless
this, fire of Goals after his vision Of the
Saviour. How the story of his denial
must have flashed across his mind. 1t is
better for us not to begin a day until we
have asked Christ to show us where we
failed Yesterday. lie will do it, not with a
fire of Goals always. but with the touch OF
His finger For Christian to fail at the
same, place two days in succession is an
awful sin.
Fourth, Just as lie made a feast for
those disciples in the early morning so He
makes a feast for us every morning of our
| lives lie spreads the table with His own
purity. How that will help us in the pres
encc of all that is impure. He displays
His own gentleness. How that will
strengthen us IN the time when we are Ia
bic to be irritable lie sets before us his
own love. How that VIII enable us TO TO
,oVe the, Things that we might haI,lraiiy
nate, ana IN our presence lie makes display
OF HIS own power lioW that VIII ehc9nt-
