What are you willing to do because Jesus said so?


There is so much discussion in the world today about Jesus -- people ask, do you like Him?  Was he really the Son of God?  Did He really die and then was resurrected?  Did He really mean all that stuff about turning the other cheek, loving your enemies and dying to self?

In the passage we are studying this Sunday, from Luke Chapter 5 where Jesus calls His first disciples, he uses Peter and Andrew's boats as a podium to speak from because the crowds are so big and are crushing against him.  But after he finishes teaching for the day Jesus randomly tells Peter how he should fish, and says he should go back into the water, and let down his nets again...

Now Peter and his mates have been fishing all night, so what would you say to Jesus, THE CARPENTER about his fishing opinions?  Now go and check out what Peter's response really is to Jesus in Luke 5:5...and then you'll know what we are going to discuss this coming Sunday!
