A Story Jesus Told

The Net

From the Gospel of Matthew

Scroll to begin
One — Into the Deep

Two fishermen rowed out into the dark sea. They cast their wide net far into the water.

Two — Every Kind

When they pulled the net back, it was heavy — full of every kind of fish they could imagine.

Three — Toward Shore

As the sky began to glow, they rowed toward shore, towing the heavy net behind them.

Four — The Sorting

At the shore, they sorted: some fish went into baskets, and others were gently let go.

A Small Question

What does it feel like
to be picked?

The kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake.

From Matthew, Chapter 13
A Flower Blooms

A flower bloomed.

You finished The Net. Your garden has one more flower in it.
