The Right Response

Peter’s encounter with Jesus in Luke 5:1-11 highlights three key calls that every believer receives. First, Jesus asked to use Peter’s boat, teaching that discipleship begins with giving God our time, talents, and resources, even when it is inconvenient. Second, Jesus told Peter to launch out into the deep and let down his nets. Despite his doubts and previous failure, showing that growth comes through trusting and obeying God’s word. Finally, Jesus called Peter to leave his fishing success behind and become a fisher of men. Through this encounter, Peter’s understanding of Jesus deepened from seeing Him as a teacher to recognising Him as Lord. The message reminds believers that God still calls us to give, grow, and go, and the right response, whatever the circumstance, is always: “Yes, Lord.”
