http://www.esvbible.org/luke5

Jesus seems to be intentional in getting Peter involved in His lakeside ministry (Luke 5:1-3). Peter did not object to Jesus' use of his boat as temporary pulpit.

REFLECTION (1): Are you sensitive to the times when Jesus or those who represent Him are somehow trying to get you involved in His kingdom work?

The work might relate to
(1) preaching the good news to the poor,
(2) proclaiming freedom for prisoners,
(3) recovery of sight for the blind,
(4) release of the oppressed.

It might involve work relating to the sick/outcast (lepers in Luke 5:12-16), helping people who are reading to respond in faith to Jesus (Luke 5:17-26), or even calling others directly into specific ministries (Luke 5:27-31).

REFLECTION (2): Do you see from Luke 5 that from the outset, Jesus faced opposition and difficulties? Do you easily feel like giving up when you face difficulties?

REFLECTION (3): Are you willing to shoot the rapids downstream, until it reaches the deep oceans of the world? Are you willing to persevere for the sake of the gospel?

http://m.bbintl.org/bible/ncv/Luk/5/

耶稣似乎有意要让彼得参与祂湖边的事工(路5:1-3)。彼得并没有反对耶稣用他的船作为暂时的讲台。

反思(1):当耶稣或那些代表祂的人想要让你参与祂国度的工作的时候，你有这个意识吗？

这工作或许是与下列有关：

(1)向穷苦的人传福音，

(2)为被掳的宣告自由，

(3)为瞎眼的恢复视力，

(4)释放被压制的.

这工作也极有可能与身患疾病的人/被排挤的人有关(路5:12-16的痲风患者)，帮助正在阅读此经文的人以信心回应主耶稣(路5:17-26)，又或者呼召他人直接加入某些特定的事工(路5:27-31)。

反思(2):你是否从路加5章一开始就看到，耶稣面临着反抗的势力和困难？你是否在遇到困难的时候想轻易放弃？

反思(3):你是否愿意克服汹涌的河流，流向世界的深海去？你是否愿意为了福音而坚持下去？
