‘Catch And Go.’
(Blessed business people are also sometimes called to follow the Lord)
Luke 5:1-11.
a) Luke 5:1. One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on Him to listen to the Word of God.
b) Luke 5:2-3. Jesus used the boat for His Ministry even though the boat was a fishing vessel. The boat belonged to Simon Peter.
c) Luke 5:4. When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” Jesus was also interested in Simon Peter’s fishing.
d) Luke 5:5. Simon Peter obeyed Jesus even though he was disappointed at the efforts of the previous night. (Disappointment must be overcome so that we can freely obey the Lord)
e) Luke 5:6-7. There was a huge catch of fish – the Blessing of the Lord.
f) Luke 5:8-9. This experience caused Peter to be amazed and Worship the Lord.
g) Luke 5:10. Jesus introduced a change of life to Peter.
h) Luke 5:11. Peter, James and John left everything and followed Jesus.
(Catch and Go, this Second one teaches me that even Blessed and successful business people are sometimes called by the Lord to go)

Chris.
Jesus was very rarely in a hurry, before sending Peter to go and catch fish Jesus finished His Teaching. Even though there was often a big crowd around Him Jesus was calm and orderly. I feel distressed sometimes when I see Servants of the Lord frantically trying to achieve something when they have no peace, calm or orderliness. Let us all learn from the good example of Jesus Christ.
