354 Yeshua Friend of Sinners (Lk. 5:1-11)

Yeshua's first personal students were men who fished for a living. He astonished them in this account by asking them to row their boats out into the deep during daylight (something they had just spent all night doing). The result brought at least one of them to his knees in acknowledgment of his sin. Yeshua did not push the sinner away, but said, "Follow me."
