Luke 5 – Men and fish

Upon graduation from TEDS, my wife's parents gave us a couple of fishing poles (which we were very excited about). Here Luke (vv 5:1-11) tells us of the call of Peter and the mandate for believers to be following Jesus. What was interesting to me was comparing people and fish. Fish: it's good to be in the water; it's bad to be caught, because being caught means death. People: it's bad to be in the water; it's good to be caught, because being caught means life. Praise God, because He has pulled me from the waters of destruction to His net of eternal life! (I'm also glad I'm not a fish, either in or out of water.)
