Bible Lesson: Miracles Of Jesus-Draught Of Fishes

Bible Lesson: Miracles Of Jesus - Draught Of Fishes.

Location: Sea of Galilee.

Text: Luke 5:1-11 KJV
[1] And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon Him to hear the word of God, He stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
[2] And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
[3] And He entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed Him that He would thrust out a little from the land.
And He sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
[4] Now when He had left speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
[5] And Simon answering said unto Him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
[6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
[7] And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came,
and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
[8] When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
[9] For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
[10] 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.
[11] And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.

Luke 5:3 KJV
“...And He sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.”

Jesus was always ready to preach the Gospel, and we as His followers are to be eager to do the same.

Matthew 10:7,27 KJV
[7] And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[27] What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Mark 16:15 KJV
And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Luke 9:2,60 KJV
[2] And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
[60] ... go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

Acts 5:20 KJV
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

II Timothy 4:2 KJV
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

Luke 5:4,5 KJV
[4] Now when He had left speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
[5] And Simon answering said unto Him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

This verse of course speaks volumes of “trusting the Lord.”
Many times our God's promises are a completely antithetical to the facts as we know them.
“The doctors say it's cancer,” and yet we hear our God say, “I will never leave nor for sake thee.”
“Your account is over drawn, and the bills are due,” and yet the promise, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace , whose mind is stayed on thee...”

Psalm 56:3 KJV
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Psalm 57:1 KJV
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

Isaiah 12:2 KJV
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation.

I Timothy 4:10 KJV
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God,
who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

II Timothy 1:12 KJV
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.

How can we find this place of perfect trust, and perfect peace?
We must “launch out into the deep.”
We must draw close to the God of the universe, with whom, nothing is impossible.

Psalm 73:28 KJV
But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.

James 4:6-10 KJV
[6] But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
[8] Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
[9] Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.

Luke 5:5-7 KJV
[5] And Simon answering said unto Him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
[6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
[7] And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

Our Living God, knows how to reward His trusting child.
Peter could not believe his eyes, no doubt he thought, “how could it be?” And yet there it was his net tearing under the load of so many fishes, enough to fill both boats, so much so that they began to sink.

Hebrews 11:6 KJV (Read the whole chapter.)
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

"A Rewarder" of them that diligently seek Him," this day Peter never forgot, that trusting Christ, was trusting the very God of the universe.

Genesis 18:14 KJV (Abraham 100, Sarah 90)
Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee,
according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Job 42:2 KJV
I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be with holden from thee.

Psalm 115:3 KJV
But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.

Isaiah 43:13 NLT
“From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of My hand. No one can undo what I have done.”

Matthew 19:26 KJV
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Luke 1:37 KJV
For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Luke 5:8-11 KJV
[8] When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
[9] For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
[10] 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.
[11] And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.

When we with sincerity of heart, “Launch out into the deep,” with Jesus, and catch a glimpse of His greatness, we will never be the same again.

Peter, Andrew, James, and John, now had a new calling, as they forsook all to follow Christ, they were fisher's of men. The instrument of their trade, now would be the gospel net, and their harvest, that of human souls for the Kingdom of God.

Dear friend, have you had an encounter with the God of the universe?
He loves you and wants you to work for Him in His field, the world!

Give your life to Him, in dedicated service, and eternity will one day reveal, the great bounty gleaned for the kingdom of heaven.
