No Matter What
Calvin Kochi8 But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus’ feet, saying, “Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!” 9 For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken; Luke 5:8-9
Peter realized that he had just witness a miracle and was overwhelmed. Peters livelyhood depened on fishing. He had fished all night and noting so putting out the nets was to be gracious to Jesus not thinking that the nets would be bursting at the seams because of the catch. Peter imediately knew that there is somethingamazingly different about this Man.
Peter realized that he had just witnessed a miracle and was overwhelmed. Peter’s livelyhood depened on fishing he knew that the odds of catching a fish was zero. He had fished all night and noting so putting out the nets was to be gracious to Jesus. Peter is not thinking that the nets would be bursting at the seams because of the catch. Peter immediately knew that there is something amazingly different about this Man.Peter character here is what caught Jesus eyes as many time that Peter stuck his foot in his mouth he was on that took immediate actions. He immediately let down the nets It was Peter that seemed to be in some kind of situation with Jesus. Peter’s example really speaks to me today he loved Jesus so much he would do anything even it would get him into trouble. At least he was willing to take that risk again and again. He also was the one who recognized Jesus as the Son of the Living God! His relationship with Jesus is one that I want to be remembered for. Peter may have stuck his foot in this mouth more that others, but he responded in ways that sets an amazing example for me never, never, never give up.
It is so easy to give up and to not be willing to do whatever it take even when you know its senseless. that is what Peter did he let down the nets even when it made no sense, and then you do amazing things because Ptere obeyed. Help me to be that obedient.
