Not only was it a miracle that the fish were caught; it was another miracle that the net was not torn. Note well the details given about the fish and the fact that the net was not torn by this large catch. It would be expected that there would be some damage to the net. There are some commentators who draw a conclusion about the power of the risen Christ, saying that Jesus had not only brought the fish, but also maintained the net by His power. The church’s power is in Jesus Christ. It is in Him and only Him that we have our hope. It is to Christ that the church looks for help and it is in Christ that we find that help, support, and strength we need.
