No Other Explanation – The Gospel of John – John 21:1–14

Sermon by Pastor John DeVriesThe last chapter of John begins with what seems to be a quiet and unfinished account of Jesus’ third appearance to his disciples following his resurrection. What message does this moment hold for the church?As we’ll hear in today’s sermon, this passage reveals that the growth and success of the Christian faith cannot be explained by human effort. The disciples, left to themselves, accomplish nothing—but when the risen Lord directs them, their work overflows. The church’s life, strength, and endurance are grounded not in us, but in the power of God.—Vineland Road is a resource ministry of the Christian Reformed Church of St. Joseph, Michigan.
