When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m such a sinful man.” 9 For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others with him. 10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed.
Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” 11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus. (Luke 5:8-11 NLT)
Life does not always work out the way we expect it to. Peter, James, John and Andrew had a fishing business. They thought they would be doing that for a long time. Then they met Jesus and He told them, “From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” They left their fishing business behind and probably the largest catch of fish they ever had to follow Jesus.
We don't know how life will turn out for us. But we do know that the Lord invites us to follow Him and to join Him in the fishing for people business. Jesus wants us to connect people with Him. It's time to go fishing.
