About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"HOW IMPRESSED ARE YOU WITH JESUS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
HOW IMPRESSED ARE YOU WITH JESUS?
DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY IN LUKE 5 ABOUT JESUS TELLING PETER TO GO OUT INTO THE DEEP WATER AND TO DROP HIS NETS? JESUS HAD SEEN THE TWO SHIPS STANDING BY LAKE GENNESARET AND THE FISHERMEN WERE OUT OF THE SHIPS, WASHING THEIR NETS. JESUS ENTERED PETER'S SHIP AND ASK HIM TO TAKE IT OUT A LITTLE FROM THE BANK SO HE COULD TEACH THE MULTITUDE.
WHEN HE HAD FINISHED TEACHING HE TOLD PETER TO GO INTO THE DEEP WATER AND DROP HIS NETS. PETER COMPLAINED THAT THEY HAD BEEN OUT ALL NIGHT AND HADN'T CAUGHT ANYTHING. HOWEVER, PETER WAS OBEDIENT AND DID WHAT JESUS SAID. HE CAUGHT SO MANY FISH THAT THEIR NETS BROKE AND THEY HAD TO CALL THE OTHER SHIP TO COME AND HELP. THEY FILLED BOTH SHIPS SO MUCH THAT THEY STARTED TO SINK. WOULD YOU HAVE DONE THIS FOR A STRANGER?
THIS WAS ANOTHER MIRACLE THAT I FORGOT TO MENTION THE OTHER DAY AND IT ALSO SHOWS HOW MIRACLES HELP TO SPREAD JESUS' MINISTRY. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN LUKE 5:9-11 "For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him." JESUS MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN HOW TO FISH BUT HE HAD SOMETHING BETTER, HE KNEW THE FISH.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THESE OLD ROUGH FISHERMEN JUST DROPPING EVERYTHING AND LEAVING THEIR SHIPS AND FOLLOWING JESUS. HE MUST HAVE REALLY IMPRESSED THEM. WE ALL SHOULD BE IMPRESSED ENOUGH TO DROP EVERYTHING AND FOLLOW HIM.
WHEN WE HAVE DONE ALL WE CAN AND YET COME UP EMPTY-HANDED, BEING IN DESPAIR AND HOPELESS, WE CAN JUST CALL UPON JESUS AND WITH ONE WORD, HE WILL MAKE IT RIGHT. WILL YOU CALL UPON HIM TODAY?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
