Luke 5:1–11, Fishers of Men

The miraculous deeds Jesus performed during his
earthly ministry confirmed his identity and verified his message. 1That is why the Gospel of John calls them “signs.” This sermon text is Luke’s first account of Jesus calling disciples to follow him. He used a miraculous sign to confirm his identity (“I am the one you should follow”) and explain what it means to follow him (“You will fish for men”).
