Fish on the right side !!

John 21:5Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”

They answered Him, “No.”

6And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some

Why would Jesus tell them to fish on the right side? What does that mean?

In Ezekiel 47, we read about the river flowing from the altar. The Bible says it was flowing from the right side of the altar, went out through the right side of the gate…. And wherever it was flowing there was a multitude of fish. Jesus was only reminding them that the multitudes of fish is on the right side !!!  There is a multitude of fish there because it came from the right side of the altar.

If we want multitudes of souls, we must fish where the river that flows from the altar is. The altar represents prayer. The altar represents holiness. The altar represents repentance.  There MUST be a connection between evangelism and prayer.  Without an altar, we will come back like the disciples… With no fish.

Jesus askes us today, have you got no fish? If the answer is no he says, try one more time. But this time, do it with prayer. This time, do it with Holiness. This time, preach and practice true repentance.
