Fish with gold in its mouth

Matthew 17:27 - Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

Rev. 2:17 and I were amazed last night at the interpretation my pastor gave concerning the gold in the fish's mouth. He gave us a sermon from Mark 4 about mending the net. As fisherman in God's sea, he encouraged us to mend our nets before we go fishing for men, otherwise all the fish that we catch will escape through that one hole. He spoke about the hole of wrong doctrine, the hole of carelessness and other holes that I don't remember right now. What struck us was also the fact that if you go fishing for men, the fish will bring their own gold in their mouth to the church. Think about it.

    May you never be confused. The Pastor make a quick reference to it as he was preaching about fishing. He quickly joked about the fact that when Jesus sent Peter fishing he'd find a fish in whose mouth would be a gold coin that would serve to pay for Jesus's taxes and that of Peter's. If your attention span had slipped for a fraction of a second you might have missed the reference. Still Confooozed. Talk to mami!
