Something bigger than normal life (Luke 5)

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The passage in Luke Chapter 5:1-11 highlights the process of discipleship that begins with an encounter with Jesus. The passage shows that one can know Jesus without having had a personal encounter with Him. Peter, for example, had witnessed Jesus perform miracles in his home, but he had not made a decision to follow Him. However, a crisis, in this case, a day without fish, was what it took to break Peter's pattern and make the transition to become a disciple of Jesus. The text emphasizes that discipleship begins with an encounter with Jesus and surrendering everything to follow Him.

The passage discusses the story of Peter casting his net on Jesus' command and catching an abundance of fish. The author encourages readers to have faith in Jesus and to trust in His plan for their lives, even when it doesn't make sense. The author also emphasizes that we don't have control over our lives and that we should surrender to God's will. The passage ends by inviting those who want to commit to following Jesus to come forward and start their adventure with Him.

Let's open our Bibles to the book of Luke, the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 5. I don't know how many feel that God is about to do something big in our lives and in New England. Amen. And that this includes you, that the Lord is not going to forget you, that while he does something great in New England, he also has to do something great in you. Do you believe it? Amen.

And you know? And I'm not sorry if any of those amens were a little lukewarm because I don't know about you, and I've had this conversation with many, and I know how someone can feel when knowing that the greatest adventure of their life is approaching, the greatest thing that God has to do, the most special days of your life are approaching, at the same time one realizes that this adventure and those times do not come without a cost, that perhaps the greatest blessing of your entire life, the most special experience of your entire life will also be accompanied with a cost that comes to us, that kind of blessing does not come for free, that it will cost us.
