\n1. Missional Jesus is a preacher of the word (5:1-3) and it is out of that context that he summons Peter.
\n2. Encountering the missional Jesus brings bewilderment, wonder, and awe \u2014 leading to repentance (5:5, 8, 9-10).
\n3. Missional Jesus shares his mission with those who are attached to him (5:10).
\n4. Those who participate in the mission of Jesus are called to enlist others in the mission of Jesus \u2014 by attaching themselves through them to Missional Jesus (5:11).
\nLuke 5:1 \tOne day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,b the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water\u2019s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
\nLuke 5:4 \tWhen he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, \u201cPut out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.\u201d
\nLuke 5:5 \tSimon answered, \u201cMaster, we\u2019ve worked hard all night and haven\u2019t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.\u201d
\nLuke 5:6 \tWhen they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
\nLuke 5:8 \tWhen Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus\u2019 knees and said, \u201cGo away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!\u201d 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon\u2019s partners.
\nThen Jesus said to Simon, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.\u201d 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
