When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, ‘Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!’ For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. (Luke 5:8-10, NIV)
What amazes you about Jesus? Peter, James and John were all astonished by the miraculous catch of fish that Jesus provided for them. So much so, that they left everything and followed him. Does anything amaze you that much about Jesus?
