In this epilogue of the Gospel According to John, the scene of the disciples failing to catch fish seems anticlimactic. However, this is sometimes the reality of what discipleship looks like. Some people commit their lives to following Jesus and they expect every day would be an adventure, but then there's a lot of just mundane, ordinary stuff in the real life of discipleship under Christ Jesus. Some may be disappointed; they may feel like every day should be filled with milestone accomplishments, but it's a lot slower and a lot more ordinary than they thought. God calls us to faithfully follow him even in these slower seasons of discipleship, and he promises to give us growth and fruit in due time. He teaches us to rely on him and learn that faithfulness is what he desires.
