Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men. And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him. And with these words, Jesus shows us that the most miraculous catch that day wasn't the fish! And what started off as just another day, with the same old routine, and the same old work, turned out quite differently. How do we make sense of all this? We do so by remembering who is responsible for the catch of fish. For on the one hand, Christ commands us to work, but on the other hand He shows us that our work -- on our own -- accomplishes nothing.
