- LUKE 5:1-11 The Lord Jesus simple request often serve is a stepping stone to life most wonderful blessings. Simon Peter illustrates what can happen when we say Yes to God.
One day a large crowd pressed around Jesus while He preached, The Lord wanted to use Peter's boat as a floating platform from which to address the multitude. He asked the future apostle to push the boat out a little way from the shore from his example, we also learn how essential it is to obey God even the smallest matters. the noisy crowd recieved the first blessing of Peter's obedience. The people could now clearly hear Jesus words. at the conclusion of the lesson; He said to peter put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch, a second opportunity to say Yes or no. But this time, Peter may have felt tempted to decline. After all he was a season fisherman. he had work to the entire night for a catch, but had returned empty handed. Now this Young teacher a carpenter by the way not a fisherman was asking him to go fishing again? Master we work hard all night and caught nothing. But i will do what you say and let down the nets.
Peter reply demontrates the beginning of a lifetime of faith in God . he said master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing. but i will do what you say and let down the nets.
The soon to be disciple chose to obey the Lord.
But notice what happen as a result of Peter's obedience. Jesus demonstrated His power and Sovereignty. Peter and his partner may started the day of thinking their effort had yielded nothing. but they ended it in complete amazement because they are not one but two overflowing boatloads of fish.
Saying Yes to the Lord request resulted in a miracle that transformed not only one fisherman's life but the lives of entire group.
