03.26.2015 New Testament: Luke 5.1–3

To read the Bible in a year, read Luke 5.1–16 on March 26, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

Can you see yourself with the people pictured in this narrative, as they pressed in closer to hear, and undoubtedly to see Jesus?

So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat (Luke 5.1–3). 

While we could not be there to hear Him in person, yet, when we read the Gospel According to Luke, it is as though we stand right before Him. Press into the Book of Luke that you might not miss anything the Holy Spirit wants you to see.
