Deeper water and new wine
Jesus calls his disciples to deeper water, different people and new wine. The greatest efforts of men are no match for the supernatural power of God. Peter complained that they had tried all night, but at Jesus’ bidding he would lower the nets once again, but this time into deeper water (Luk 5:4-5). Jesus is calling us to something different than the established, institutional way of doing things. He would have us among people with whom the church is uncomfortable (Luk 5:31-32). He wants us to try something new, rather than sticking with what is familiar and comfortable (Luk 5:37-39). Lord of the catch, show me where to cast my net.
