‘See the fisherman caught by the Saviour’ (Luke 5:1-11)

So much changed for Simon Peter in Luke 5:1-11. Although it seems likely that Peter had met Jesus before, he’d never had an encounter with Jesus quite like this one. The text relays how he went from being an unsuccesful, aware-of-of-his-own-sin fisherman type, to a follower of Jesus with a ctach full of fish as an extra bonus! What was it that Jesus did? What did he see in Peter? And what lessons do we learn from Peter’s quick and total response to Jesus’ call?
