Episode 623 The Call of Simon (Luke 5:1-11)
Manage episode 462011011 series 3239592
This week, we're reading Luke 5:1-11, a story of a miraculously large fishing haul. In the midst of stories of miraculous healing, why is it this one, about fishing, that launches Simon Peter into his discipleship? Is it because the miracle is so stark against the backdrop of his knowledge and experience? Is it because he has tools to help Jesus in this case, to partner with him? What did it take for Simon to walk away from the kind of catch he’d probably dreamed of all his professional life – to just leave it there in the boat?
