In the 5th Chapter of Luke (Luke 5:1-11) there's a great retelling of the events of the day Jesus told Peter and his crew to head out into the "deep water" and let down their fishing nets for another catch. Peter tells Jesus, "Look we were out all last night fishing, and we didn't catch a thing". Then Peter pulls himself up short, remembering Who it was that told him to go back out, and he says, "But, if you say so, we'll head back out on the water". And they did.
And the Bible recounts that what filled their nets was so great a haul of fish, they needed to bring another boat alongside to help bring it in. They were tired and worn out already from fishing, but one word from Jesus sent them back out and into deep water. Peter and his men didn't go back out on the water to bring back empty nets, they went back out expecting to catch fish. Jesus knows ways GO FISH most of us never even thought about. I can't wait to dig into His fishing wisdom this weekend at Crossroads.
Two services this Sunday. Hmm...sounds a lot like two boats!
