RE: The Gospel of LUKE

in #reliquary6 years ago

The first 11 verses of this chapter of Luke teaches ame a great number of lessons.

We see in the opening verse as people had gathered around Jesus to hear him, yet, others around (Peter and partners) were not interested perhaps due to the disapointment of a fruitless toil. I see Jesus having to deliberately involve them by opting to use one of their boats. Not just being sensitive of their initial uninvolvement, Christ was sensitive to their fruitless toil and called for a catch. This ministers that we should be deliberate and conscious of our environment and the people so that we can deliberately put them in the way of righteousness. This singular act of Christ did not only win Peter, but James and John were added to the discipleship fold. Having caught their attention, they could grasp the depth of the message.

I pray God helps us to be sensitive.

Thank you @reliquary for sharing.
