“After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias; and on this wise showed He Himself. There were gathered together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of His disciples.” (John 21:1-2)
For the past few days we have been following the life of Thomas after the resurrection of Jesus.
There are seven of the Lord’s disciples gathered together at the Sea of Tiberias. One of the seven is Thomas. I seriously doubt that Thomas missed an opportunity to be with the other followers of Jesus after he heard the excitement of the others following their seeing Jesus on that first Sunday evening after His resurrection. He was with them that second Sunday evening and saw Jesus. True followers of Jesus enjoy the company of fellow believers. It is a Christian trait.
Thomas being with them paid off because Jesus appeared to them early the next morning at the Sea of Tiberias and instructed them as to where they should cast their net for a large catch of fish. The Bible says this was the third time our Savior showed Himself to His disciples after His resurrection. (Verse 14) Look what he would have missed had he not been with the other disciples on the Sea of Tiberias.
