Sharing Christ’s Light: From a fisher of fish to a fisher of people.
Jesus transforms lives inviting us to do so too! Simon Peter was minding his fishing business when Jesus hopped into Simon Peter’s boat. This encounter completely changed the course of Simon Peter’s life. It’s a miraculous story from two millennia ago but it ripples into our lives when Christians act in such a way as to draw people into Jesus Christ’s orbit. Learn more about what it was like to be a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee in Jesus’ time.
A Call to Action: Imagine a life change that makes the world a better place.
Simon Peter didn’t know what Jesus meant by “catching people” and he felt unworthy in the bright light of Jesus’ presence. But a few years with Jesus transformed his life. Simon Peter continued to do some pretty daft things after signing on to follow Jesus, but Jesus never gave up on him.
Today, many Christians recognize Simon Peter as the rock upon which Christ built his church.
