Luke 5:10 (NKJV): “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.”
Jesus. Luke 5:10. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is Day 15 of 30 Days on the Mount of Blessing, pt 3–and other sayings of Jesus.
God loves to tell oft-frighted humans to ‘stop being afraid’. Fishing for people—at least when all you’ve known is fishing for wiggly, scaly aquatic dwellers—can be terrifying. But it didn’t need to be. Jesus would be with them. This business of fishing for lost people is God’s driving passion. It’s the single reason you or I have any interest in becoming better people. It may seem challenging for you to join him in his expedition for lost people, but he’ll teach you the ropes and walk with you the whole time. He loves you—and lost people—more than you ever will, or can.
