Peter's Response
Peter's response was about what Jesus was doing on the inside. Not what Jesus did to produce results.
But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”
Luke 5:8
Peter Followed Jesus’ instructions, with no promise of a massive catch.
You know what else is massive?
Peter’s response.
How does catching fish lead Peter to…
Acknowledge Jesus’ Lordship?
Acknowledge his own sin?
The catch of a lifetime quickly became about what Jesus wanted to do inside Peter. Not the results Peter can get with Jesus as his business partner.
How is your response to Jesus’ work in your life?
Or do you treat Jesus like a business partner in ministry?
You want him to do amazing things because it’s amazing to have a catch of a lifetime.
Jesus worked.
Peter paid attention.
Peter responded.
Are you so busy in ministry, you don’t pay attention to what Jesus is doing in you.
When you don’t pay attention, you won’t respond to what Jesus is doing inside you.
