El sermón titulado "La Tercera Manifestación", predicado por Joel Coyoc, explora la resurrección de Cristo y su manifestación a los discípulos a través de Juan 21:1-14. Coyoc argumenta que esta aparición vivifica la certeza de que Jesús es el cumplimiento de las profecías messiánicas y la soberanía de Dios, al manifestarse en un entorno cotidiano, no solo en reuniones formales de adoración. Destaca la obediencia de los discípulos en echar la red a la derecha de la barca, junto con el milagro de la pesca, como una demostración de la autoridad de Cristo sobre la creación (Juan 21:6). El pasaje también subraya la importancia de la comunión con Jesús y el crecimiento en la fe que resulta de estas manifestaciones. Esta verdad tiene un significado práctico para los creyentes, ya que les llama a anhelar y buscar la manifestación de Cristo en sus vidas y a ver su trabajo como un acto de adoración.

The Bible affirms that Jesus rose from the dead, fulfilling prophecies and affirming His divine nature.
The resurrection of Jesus is a cornerstone of Christian faith, as outlined in Scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 15:14, which states that if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. His resurrection serves as a declaration of His victory over sin and death, signifying that He is indeed the fulfillment of all prophecies and the Lamb of God. In John 21:14, it is noted that this was the third time Jesus appeared to His disciples after rising from the dead, emphasizing the reality of His bodily resurrection, an event witnessed by many, including over 500 brethren at one time according to 1 Corinthians 15:6. This event assures believers of their own resurrection to come.
John 21:14, 1 Corinthians 15:14, 1 Corinthians 15:6
The manifestation of Christ reassures believers of His presence and provision in their lives.
The manifestations of Christ, such as those experienced by His disciples, serve as vital moments that strengthen the faith of believers. In John 21, the disciples, after a fruitless night of fishing, encounter Jesus who guides them to a miraculous catch, demonstrating His sovereignty over creation and His intimate care for His followers. This scene exemplifies how Christ actively intervenes in the lives of His people, reminding them of His power and presence. Such encounters produce an increased reverence and deeper communion between the believer and Christ, enriching one’s spiritual life and reinforcing the truth that God continuously provides for the needs of His people, both materially and spiritually. As stated in Philippians 4:19, God will meet all our needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.
John 21:4-11, Philippians 4:19
Our assurance that Jesus is Lord comes through His resurrection and the acknowledgment of His authority by His followers.
The acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is chiefly rooted in the resurrection. His triumphant emergence from the grave validates His claim of being the Son of God and affirms the truth of His teachings. In John 21, when the disciple whom Jesus loved recognizes Him, it serves as a moment of enlightenment that exemplifies the realization of His identity as Lord among His followers. The apostolic testimony, especially noted in Romans 10:9, highlights that confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection are foundational to the Christian faith. Additionally, these manifestations bolstered the disciples' understanding of Jesus' divine authority and their mission as His followers, establishing a firm foundation on which to declare Him Lord.
John 21:7, Romans 10:9
