\nPeter’s Revelation
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simon Peter answered and said, \u201cYou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Matthew 16:16<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the first year of Jesus\u2019 ministry, while preaching by the Sea of Galilee and being pressed into the water by the throng, Jesus asked Peter that He might get into his ship.<\/p>\n

After preaching from the ship to the people for a time, He asked Peter to launch out into the deep and let down his net for a draft of fish.<\/p>\n

Peter replied, \u201cMaster, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net\u201d (Luke 5:5).<\/p>\n

Peter surely must have been startled. He, an old man and fisherman all his life in these very waters, was then taking fishing instructions from a young carpenter after he had fished all night and caught nothing!<\/p>\n

Evidently, to prove to his instructor that He was wrong, Peter yielded to Jesus\u2019 wish. But when he and his helper could not pull in the net because of the multitude of fish and had to call for help from James and John in another ship\u2014filling both ships until they began to sink\u2014he fell at the feet of Jesus and said, \u201cDepart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!\u201d (Luke 5:8).<\/p>\n

Why was he occupied with his sinful state? Because, with the revelation of Jesus as the Son of God, there also came to him a revelation of his own condition. No one can come in vital contact with Deity and be the same again.<\/p>\n
