20170907 Gospel Lk 5:1-11

While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch." Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets." When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that the boats were in danger of sinking. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man." For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men." When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

Reflection:

Namati an mga tawo sa mga pulong ni God na taghatag ni Jesus na naga-tindog lamang sa baybay nan danaw nan Gennesaret.

Tungod kay petsido na Sija, namalihog si Jesus na moingkod sa isa sa mga baroto na gamit nan mga mangingisda, na medyo nakalutaw sa distansiya, para makatudlo sa katawhan sa baybay.

Pagkatapos Nija magtudlo, tagsugo ni Jesus si Simon na itonton nan ini an ija baling para mangisda, pero norason pa ini na ingka-buntagan na kuno gani sila sa pamaling na waya man lamang makakuha nan isda.

Pero noinsister pa si Jesus na itabog lamang nila an ila baling amo na tuod man, duro an ila kuha na hangtud na hapit na man gani magisi an baling tungod sa kapuno nan ila kuha na isda.

Noluhod si Simon sa atubangan ni Jesus para mosumiter na Lord Sija despuwes tagsultihan Nija ini na bija-an kuno nija an pangisda para mosunod Dija.

Unabes, mosunod si Simon sanan ija mga kaibanan kan Jesus, tagbijaan nila an ila mga parapernalya sa pangisda, base sa tawag ni Jesus dila.

Kon tawagon kita ni Jesus na mosunod Dija, motubag kaha kita nan positibo sa Ija imbitasyon?
