Fish Gate

 The Fish Gate which led out of the city toward the northwest. This would be one of the routes one would take to the coastal plain. The fish gate is on the north side of the city. It is through this Fish Gate fish were brought to the city from the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Galilee.

Jesus and the Great Number of Fish

Jesus stood on the beach of the Sea of Galilee after His Resurrection, Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples were fishing. His disciples did not know it was Jesus. Jesus guided the disciples to catch a great number of fish then invited them to come and dine. Jesus was still teaching the disciples and caring for them just like He does for you…

Jesus Calms the Stormy Sea

A great storm came up while Jesus was asleep. The disciples panicked and feared for their lives. Jesus rebuked the wind calmed the sea saying; "Peace! Be still!" Then the wind ceased and the seas calmed. Jesus said to them "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?" The disciples were filled with great awe and said to one another "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"

Jesus Drives out an Evil Spirit

This miracle shows us Jesus has the authority and the power to command unclean evil spirits. They recognize His power and obey His commands. There is much evil in our world today. We need to be aware of it but not fear it. We have the authority to command evil out of our lives by commanding in the name of Jesus. We would simple say “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to get out.”

Andrew the Brother of Peter

Andrew was best known as the disciple who brought others to Jesus. He is an example to us that we need to follow Jesus and introduce those we love most to Jesus. We need to live our lives in praise and continuous obedience to the teachings of Jesus. We need to always follow Jesus in everything we do in our lives. Andrew was the one who brought the lad when Jesus fed the five thousand.
