Jesus goes ‘fishing’ (Luke 5:1-16)

JESUS GOES ‘FISHING’

Luke 5:1-16

Luke has shown us Jesus’ baptism, temptation, teaching, miracles and now…

  • a fishing miracle which shows Simon he’s a sinner – unworthy of being in God’s presence (v1-10)
  • and a miracle that shows Jesus restore an outcast considered unworthy of being in God’s presence (v12-16)

Jesus says Simon will do a different kind of ‘fishing’ (v10-11)

So, what does all that mean for us?

Jesus and Temptation

Luke 4:1-13

Luke’s Gospel is written to show us Jesus…

God The Son who became one of us (3:21-37)

The Son of God (3:22)

When Jesus was tempted by Satan……

  • He trusted the word of God (Dt. 8:3)…
  • continued to serve God alone (Dt. 6:13)…
  • and did not put God to the test (Dt. 6:16)

Jesus is perfectly equipped to help us when we are tempted!(Heb. 2:14-18)
