Perfection after Death and Resurrection.

Perfection after Death and Resurrection.

Luke 5:6 At the word of the Lord they cast down their nets and caught a great number of fish but their nets were breaking, the boat was sinking and they called out to others for help.

John 21:11 states again a casting of nets. And again, a great number of fish, so many yet the nets had not broken. The disciples were able to draw the fish in to the shore on their own. No broken nets, no sinking boat, no outsiders help.

One event occurring before the resurrection, representing the brokenness of life, the other after the resurrection demonstrating the wholeness of life; the life unbroken.

Casting the net to the right side of the boat; right being authority, power and strength. The right hand being a place of honour and status. Righteous, upright; of what is good, just and proper.

Catching all 153 fish, as was written here in John, a statement used to show the truth of what was written (that the disciples had taken the time to count such a large catch). And as a flawless, unbroken instruction from the Lord, used to demonstrate the coming of a perfect catching of men after the Lord breathed the Holy Spirit onto His disciples.

A perfection of which could only come about once the death and resurrection had taken place.
