Follow Jesus Against All Odds

“We as believers should be disciples to the non-believers” - Wesleyne

Word of Today - Luke Chapter 5


In this chapter, the narrative captures a series of significant events in the early ministry of Jesus. It begins with Jesus teaching by the Sea of Galilee and then miraculously directing the fishermen, Peter, James, and John, to a bountiful catch of fish. This awe-inspiring event leads these fishermen to leave everything behind and follow Jesus. The chapter also records Jesus healing a leper, showcasing not only his divine authority over physical ailments but also his compassion for those considered outcasts in society. The Pharisees and scribes, however, begin to question Jesus' association with tax collectors and sinners, prompting him to emphasize his mission of reaching the spiritually needy.


Delving into the lessons of Luke Chapter 5, you will encounter the transformative power of encountering Jesus and responding to his call. The fishermen's immediate and radical decision to leave their livelihoods signifies the profound impact of recognizing the authority and divine calling of Jesus. The healing of the leper underscores Jesus' compassion for the marginalized and his willingness to extend grace to those society had cast aside. Additionally, Jesus' response to the Pharisees highlights the essence of his ministry - to seek and save the lost. Luke Chapter 5 prompts reflection on the nature of discipleship, challenging you to assess your readiness to respond to the call of Jesus and embrace the radical transformation he offers.
