One Hundred and Fifty-Three Large Fish

Some pastors measure their success by the weekly church attendance; likewise, a fisherman measures success by his catch of fish. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn” (John 21:10-11 NIV). Leave it to a fisherman, or a preacher, to count the exact number of fish they catch.
