Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 5:1-11

Jobey McGinty

Jesus meets Peter at work, not after he cleans himself up. When the nets overflow, Peter sees the truth about himself and about Jesus: “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord” (Luke 5:8). But Jesus doesn’t leave. He calls. “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men” (Luke 5:10–11). Grace comes first. Then the call. That’s the gospel.
