An Abundance of Fish and the Bread of Life

Jesus appears to the disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. They have been fishing all night and have caught nothing. After Jesus instructs them to cast their net over the starboard side, they took in so many fish that they could not take in the net. Jesus calls them over to the beach, where they eat fish and bread. Does this sharing of bread and fish remind you of another event in Scripture? Today’s Readings: Acts 4:1–12; Psalm 118:1–2, 4, 22, 24, 25, 27; John 21:11–14.
