“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.
