Many are looking for that luck of the draw moment to rescue them from life’s challenges. In John 5, we see Jesus heal a paralytic that could not get himself into a known antidote of healing on time.

Would the church have a solution for whosoever desires to be whole of whatsoever ails them?

Without the Disciples knowing it is him, Jesus, challenges the disciples to fish again and they bring an unnatural haul of fish. We see how the disciples are waiting on this appearance of the Lord and a strong possibility as to why there are so many fish.

We look at Jesus' rebuke of Jewish leaders request for a sign.
