Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 21:5-6

"Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes." — John 21:5-6 (ASV)

They answered him, “No.” And he said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find.” They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

Christ knows where fishes are. He knows where you are then, my friend, though you do not, perhaps, know where you are yourself.

You have gotten out of your own latitude, mentally and spiritually. You could not describe yourself, but Christ knows every minnow in the brook and every fish in the lake, and knows where you are.

Christ can bring fish where he wants them to be. He brought them into the net. Christ can bring souls into his net tonight.

At his will, their will shall sweetly yield itself up, and they shall come into the net.
