Luke 5:1-11:
The fishermen are by the shore cleaning up after an unsuccessful night. On the shore, Jesus is preaching the word of God to the people. Presumably, to be seen and heard better by the crowd, Jesus gets into Simon’s boat. For Simon Peter and the other disciples, this is the beginning of a new life, and they know it.
I don’t know what it would mean for me to “give up everything.” Maybe I do know but I am afraid to think about it. Please help me to hear, understand and have the courage to stop holding on and follow.
