not so far away but that they can
see Jesus if he should meet with tho
others on the mountain. All night
they fish but catch nothing. In the
morning they are cold and hungry
and tired. They look toward shore
and see a man standing but do not
know who he is. "Children, have ye
any meat," he calls. "No." "Cast
the net on the right side of the ship,
and ye shaU find." The disciples do
as he says, and now they cannot
pull in the net it is so full of fish.
John turns to Peter and says, "It is
the Lord." They are not very far
from land, so Peter jumps right into
the sea and makes for shore as fast
as he can. He cannot wait for the
boat. The others come dragging the
net after them. Jesus has their
breakfast ready, fish laid on a fireof
coals, and bread. Jesus always does
the kindest things for those who love
him.
Alvin, do you think Peter's heart is
still sore from the time he betrayed
Jesus "Yes, he is sorry and wants
to be forgiven." After breakfast
Jesus says to him, "Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me more than
these" Peter answers, "Yea, Lord;
thou knowest that I love thee."
"Feed my lambs," says Jesus. The
second time Jesus says, "Simon, son
of Jonas, lovest thou me" ''Yea,
Lord; thou knowest that I,love thee,"
Peter replies. This time Jesus says,
"Feed my sheep." Again the third
time Jesus says, 'Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me" Peter is
grieved because Jesus has asked him
three times, but Jesus wants to make
sure of his love and wants him to
know that he is forgiven. Peter answers,
"Lord, thou knowest all
things; thou knowest that I love
thee." Jesus says, "Feed my sheep."
Peter is fully forgiven and restored
now, and what Jesus asks him to do
he asks us—to tell other people aU
about God and his great love.
Another day aU the disciples and
a great number of Jesus' friends—five
hundred in all—are gathered on this
mountain. Here are the disciples.
Here is the son of the widow of Nain.
Here is the man who had the palsy,
and the boy who gave Jesus his
lunch and those others whom the
disciples met on the road. Suddenly
Jesus is standing among them, and
they all worship him. Jesus says to
them-. "All power is given unto me,"
not only in heaven, but also on earth,
every kind of power. Jesus is' head
over all people and every nation. And
now he tells them and us what to do
"Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations."
WiU it be easy to go among
Jesus' enemies and tell about Jesus,
George "No, they might get kiUed."
So Jesus promises. "Lo, I am
with you always, even unto the end
of the world." How many of you wiU
be missionaries for Jesus
