Luke 5:1-11: Jesus teaching from Peter's boat
After teaching from Peter's boat, Jesus instructs Peter to take it out
on the lake to catch fish. Peter's response is, "Master, we were hard
at work all night and caught nothing at all; but if you say so, I will
let down the nets." (vs. 5, NEB) Notice he addresses Jesus as "Master,"
denoting respect, yet secretly Peter doubts Jesus knows what he is
talking about. After all, Jesus is a teacher, not a fisherman. Yet he
obeys.
Peter is rewarded for his obedience and
not punished for his doubt. The miraculous catch of fish opens Peter's
eyes to who Jesus truly is as well as what Peter was; a sinner. His
tone changes as he reverently addresses Jesus as "Lord."
After Peter's confession of Jesus' Lordship and his own unworthiness,
Jesus invites him to follow him in the catching of men for God's
kingdom. Immediately Peter begins his journey toward his God-ordained
destiny.
