ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

John 21

In John 21, it tells us a story about Jesus and his friends who were fishermen. One day, they went out on a boat to catch some fish, but despite trying all night, they didn't catch anything. The sun started to rise and they were starting to feel very tired and discouraged.

Then, a man on the shore called out to them and asked if they had caught anything. They responded, "No." The man told them to cast their nets out on the other side of the boat, and when they did, they caught so many fish that they couldn't even pull them all into the boat!

The disciples realized that the man on the shore was actually Jesus, who had been resurrected from the dead. They were overjoyed to see him, and he even cooked them breakfast on the beach.

After they finished eating, Jesus talked to Peter, one of his disciples, and asked him three times, "Do you love me?" Each time, Peter responded, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus then instructed Peter to take care of his followers and continue spreading his message after he was gone.

The story shows us that even when things seem hopeless, Jesus is always there to guide us and help us succeed. It also teaches us that it's important to show our love for Jesus and to take care of those around us who believe in his message.
