Peter’s encounter with Jesus at the lake teaches a clear lesson about faith and humility. After a long night of failed fishing, Peter had nothing to show for his effort. When Jesus asked him to put the nets out again, Peter hesitated, believing it would be pointless. He may have questioned why a carpenter was giving advice to an experienced fisherman. Still, he chose to follow the command.
The result was astonishing. The nets filled to the point of breaking. Faced with this sign of God’s involvement, Peter dropped to his knees and confessed that he was a sinful man. He realized just how weak he was on his own, and felt ashamed of his doubt when he was told to put his net in the water.
Awareness of our weakness should bring us closer to God. He calls us even in our failures.
Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out.
John 6:37
