Episode 84: Gone Fishing! Jesus calls Peter and his partners from fishing for fish to fishing for men. He also calls us ...
Exhausted after a night of fishing and coming up empty, Peter and his partners were ashore, cleaning their nets and looking forward to a good night's sleep. After preaching to a crowd by the lakeshore, Jesus told Peter to sail to deep waters and put out those newly cleaned nets. Against his better judgment, since he and his companions had fished all night and come up empty, Peter did as Jesus suggested and hauled in a miraculously abundant catch. Awed and afraid in the presence of the Holy, Peter acknowledges his sinfulness. "Do not be afraid," Jesus told him, "from now on, you will be fishing for men," At once, Peter left everything to follow Jesus. Jesus calls us, as he called Peter, to leave worldliness behind, follow Him, and go fishing!
