“Simon answered and said to Him, ‘Master, we have
toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word
I will let down the net.’ And when they had done this, they
caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.”
LUKE 5:5,6
To
you and me this may sound like a coincidence, or luck. Some might call
it a miracle, and it is miraculous, but it is more than a miracle; it is
a sign given by Christ in order to reveal Himself to Peter. In
Scriptural language, it is “revealing His glory.”
Jesus
merely said, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a
catch of fish.” Nevertheless, Peter perceived that Jesus was no ordinary
man.
For when he saw what happened, he fell down and sobbed, “Lord, depart
from me, for I am a sinful man.” The One he called Teacher he now calls
Lord, and Peter is immediately made to see the contrast of himself, a
sinful man, and Christ, the Holy One of God. Everyone else heard the
teaching, but Peter saw the Person.
