Simon Peter before Luke 5

The Scene (Luke 5)

“At your word I will let down the nets”

  • Peter calls Jesus “Master”
  • Jesus command probably didn’t make much sense to Peter.
  • Worldly wisdom and God’s word are often in conflict.
  • We must know God’s word.

Bible examples

  • Noah
  • Abraham
  • Conquering Jericho

Practical applications for today
