In Luke 5 we find a very tired Peter who had been working all night with no results. Nevertheless, though skeptical, he is obedient to the call of the Master to "launch out into the deep" and lower the nets.
Then when the miraculous haul is brought in, Peter bows before Jesus and says, Go hang out somewhere else, for we are not on the same wavelength. You are holy and I am a rapscallion.
Jesus then tells Peter that he will make him a "catcher of people" rather than a fish catcher.
Then, Peter leaves all, forsakes everything he has ever known and follows Christ.
What must we forsake in order to be Christ followers?
Everything.
