00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:05.439
you<00:03:02.919><c> perhaps</c><00:03:03.180><c> see</c><00:03:03.840><c> a</c><00:03:04.020><c> fisherman</c><00:03:04.280><c> standing</c><00:03:04.719><c> on</c><00:03:04.960><c> a</c><00:03:05.080><c> rock.</c>

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.620

and<00:03:12.120><c> he's</c><00:03:12.340><c> got</c><00:03:12.439><c> the</c><00:03:12.699><c> task</c><00:03:12.960><c> in</c><00:03:13.240><c> hand,</c><00:03:13.460><c> and</c><00:03:13.580><c> he</c><00:03:13.759><c> is</c><00:03:13.939><c> determined</c>

00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.280

00:03:17.699 --> 00:03:20.219
even<00:03:17.960><c> if</c><00:03:18.099><c> it</c><00:03:18.240><c> means</c><00:03:18.379><c> standing</c><00:03:18.659><c> there</c><00:03:18.860><c> all</c><00:03:19.099><c> night</c><00:03:19.259><c> on</c><00:03:19.400><c> the</c><00:03:19.500><c> next</c><00:03:19.780><c> day.</c>

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:22.500
It's<00:03:20.620><c> rather</c><00:03:20.860><c> embarrassing</c><00:03:21.319><c> if</c><00:03:21.479><c> you</c><00:03:21.620><c> go</c><00:03:21.719><c> home</c><00:03:21.879><c> without</c><00:03:22.139><c> a</c><00:03:22.319><c> fish.</c>

00:03:22.979 --> 00:03:27.879
So<00:03:23.360><c> persistence</c><00:03:24.020><c> is</c><00:03:24.639><c> the</c><00:03:24.860><c> quality</c><00:03:25.439><c> of</c><00:03:26.219><c> a</c><00:03:26.520><c> fisherman,</c><00:03:27.419><c> and</c><00:03:27.680><c> in</c>

00:03:38.259 --> 00:03:41.400
When<00:03:38.379><c> we</c><00:03:38.520><c> think</c><00:03:38.659><c> about</c><00:03:39.000><c> the</c><00:03:39.560><c> disciples,</c><00:03:40.659><c> the</c><00:03:40.879><c> apostles,</c><00:03:41.300><c> it</c>

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.319
would<00:03:41.740><c> appear</c><00:03:42.159><c> that</c><00:03:42.379><c> more</c><00:03:42.560><c> than</c><00:03:42.800><c> half</c><00:03:43.000><c> of</c><00:03:43.139><c> them</c><00:03:43.219><c> were</c><00:03:43.439><c> fishermen,</c>

00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:47.379
and<00:03:45.219><c> we</c><00:03:45.419><c> wonder</c><00:03:45.580><c> why</c><00:03:45.819><c> the</c><00:03:46.039><c> Lord</c><00:03:46.219><c> chose</c><00:03:46.620><c> such</c><00:03:46.979><c> men.</c>

00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:51.939
And<00:03:48.180><c> perhaps</c><00:03:48.460><c> it</c><00:03:48.699><c> was</c><00:03:48.860><c> because</c><00:03:49.280><c> on</c><00:03:49.560><c> the</c><00:03:49.740><c> rough</c><00:03:50.020><c> seas</c><00:03:50.400><c> of</c><00:03:50.759><c> Galilee,</c>

00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.160
and<00:04:57.379><c> they</c><00:04:57.819><c> had</c><00:04:58.060><c> a</c><00:04:58.279><c> flourishing</c><00:04:58.759><c> fish</c><00:04:59.399><c> business.</c>

Edder<00:05:00.920><c> Shine</c><00:05:01.100><c> makes</c><00:05:01.420><c> a</c><00:05:01.680><c> comment</c><00:05:01.899><c> about</c><00:05:02.199><c> that.</c>

00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.500
He<00:05:02.480><c> says,</c><00:05:03.480><c> fishing</c><00:05:03.519><c> on</c><00:05:03.779><c> the</c><00:05:03.899><c> Lake</c><00:05:04.100><c> of</c><00:05:04.379><c> Galilee</c><00:05:04.860><c> was</c><00:05:05.519><c> not</c><00:05:05.720><c> only</c><00:05:06.000><c> pursued,</c>

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.360
but<00:05:06.819><c> perhaps</c><00:05:07.399><c> the</c><00:05:08.060><c> most</c><00:05:08.759><c> lucrative</c><00:05:09.420><c> type</c><00:05:09.959><c> of</c><00:05:10.259><c> occupation,</c>

00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:15.500
and<00:05:12.459><c> he</c><00:05:12.639><c> says,</c><00:05:12.839><c> in</c><00:05:12.860><c> order</c><00:05:13.240><c> not</c><00:05:13.519><c> to</c><00:05:13.720><c> impede</c><00:05:13.980><c> navigation,</c><00:05:14.620><c> it</c><00:05:14.680><c> was</c><00:05:14.920><c> forbidden</c><00:05:15.199><c> to</c>

00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:19.019
So<00:05:16.860><c> it</c><00:05:16.920><c> was</c><00:05:17.040><c> a</c><00:05:17.160><c> very</c><00:05:17.600><c> lucrative</c><00:05:18.139><c> operation,</c>

00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:26.199
That<00:05:24.600><c> was</c><00:05:24.860><c> forbidden</c><00:05:25.220><c> on</c><00:05:25.439><c> the</c><00:05:25.560><c> Lake</c><00:05:25.699><c> of</c><00:05:25.699><c> Galilee.</c>

00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:32.199
They<00:05:26.740><c> had</c><00:05:27.079><c> to</c><00:05:27.319><c> endure</c><00:05:27.720><c> hardship</c><00:05:28.399><c> and</c><00:05:29.180><c> toil</c><00:05:29.540><c> to</c><00:05:30.100><c> obtain</c><00:05:30.639><c> their</c><00:05:31.139><c> catch.</c>

00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:36.079
So<00:05:33.259><c> we</c><00:05:33.379><c> come</c><00:05:33.579><c> to</c><00:05:33.699><c> Luke</c><00:05:33.899><c> chapter</c><00:05:34.279><c> 5,</c>

00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.939

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.040
You<00:06:15.939><c> see</c><00:06:16.019><c> the</c><00:06:16.220><c> contrast</c><00:06:16.680><c> there?</c>

00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.759

00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:27.060
Why?<00:06:24.620><c> Well,</c><00:06:24.920><c> they</c><00:06:25.139><c> were</c><00:06:25.339><c> just</c><00:06:25.660><c> washing</c><00:06:25.920><c> their</c><00:06:26.220><c> nets.</c>

00:06:27.459 --> 00:06:29.560
There<00:06:27.639><c> seems</c><00:06:27.899><c> to</c><00:06:28.040><c> be</c><00:06:28.199><c> almost</c><00:06:28.620><c> an</c><00:06:28.959><c> indifference</c><00:06:29.339><c> there.</c>

The<00:23:34.299><c> Lord</c><00:23:34.460><c> didn't</c><00:23:34.759><c> say</c><00:23:35.039><c> to</c><00:23:35.140><c> him,</c><00:23:36.180><c> well,</c><00:23:36.400><c> depart</c><00:23:36.839><c> from</c><00:23:37.140><c> me,</c><00:23:37.359><c> Peter.</c>

They<00:25:45.019><c> understood</c><00:25:45.420><c> the</c><00:25:45.779><c> necessity</c><00:25:46.279><c> of</c><00:25:46.759><c> consistent</c><00:25:47.380><c> maintenance</c>

00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:01.400
These<00:25:57.960><c> are</c><00:25:58.319><c> the</c><00:25:58.480><c> attributes</c><00:25:58.819><c> that</c><00:25:59.079><c> the</c><00:25:59.220><c> Lord</c><00:25:59.859><c> requires</c><00:26:00.779><c> in</c><00:26:01.079><c> us.</c>

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:04.019
In<00:26:01.799><c> an</c><00:26:02.039><c> age</c><00:26:02.220><c> where</c><00:26:02.480><c> technology</c><00:26:03.059><c> is</c><00:26:03.440><c> complex,</c>

The<00:26:09.660><c> ability,</c><00:26:10.299><c> like</c><00:26:10.440><c> these</c><00:26:10.700><c> fishermen</c><00:26:10.980><c> could,</c><00:26:11.279><c> just</c><00:26:11.599><c> to</c><00:26:12.000><c> simplify</c><00:26:12.680><c> life</c>

00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.960
And<00:26:17.619><c> so</c><00:26:17.880><c> the</c><00:26:18.700><c> statement</c><00:26:19.039><c> goes</c><00:26:19.420><c> on</c>

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:23.500

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:26.579
All<00:26:24.839><c> of</c><00:26:24.940><c> us,</c><00:26:25.079><c> as</c><00:26:25.200><c> Brother</c><00:26:25.420><c> Harry</c><00:26:25.640><c> was</c><00:26:25.839><c> saying</c><00:26:26.039><c> this</c><00:26:26.299><c> morning,</c>

have<00:26:27.279><c> individuality.</c>

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:30.359
We're<00:26:28.839><c> all</c><00:26:29.019><c> different</c><00:26:29.339><c> characters.</c>

00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:33.660
When<00:26:30.559><c> we're</c><00:26:30.740><c> preaching</c><00:26:30.980><c> the</c><00:26:31.200><c> Gospel,</c><00:26:31.539><c> some</c><00:26:32.240><c> appeal</c><00:26:32.599><c> to</c><00:26:32.859><c> others,</c>

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.740
and<00:26:34.099><c> so</c><00:26:34.279><c> we're</c><00:26:34.480><c> able</c><00:26:34.700><c> to</c><00:26:34.900><c> draw</c><00:26:35.019><c> people</c><00:26:35.359><c> toward</c><00:26:35.839><c> the</c><00:26:36.359><c> Gospel.</c>

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:39.880
These<00:26:37.500><c> were</c><00:26:37.660><c> the</c><00:26:37.859><c> potential</c><00:26:38.200><c> qualities</c><00:26:38.640><c> that</c><00:26:38.900><c> the</c><00:26:39.059><c> Lord</c><00:26:39.220><c> loved</c><00:26:39.619><c> in</c>

00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:40.700
his<00:26:40.140><c> disciples,</c>

00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:43.680
and<00:26:41.160><c> although</c><00:26:41.400><c> we</c><00:26:41.759><c> might</c><00:26:42.019><c> not</c><00:26:42.279><c> be</c><00:26:42.539><c> professional</c><00:26:43.220><c> fishermen,</c>

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:45.880
we<00:26:44.319><c> need</c><00:26:44.559><c> to</c><00:26:44.779><c> observe</c><00:26:45.200><c> their</c><00:26:45.460><c> attributes</c>

00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:50.599

00:26:52.980 --> 00:26:57.079
Fishermen<00:26:53.359><c> are</c><00:26:53.880><c> a</c><00:26:53.980><c> fiercely</c><00:26:54.700><c> independent</c><00:26:55.440><c> sort</c><00:26:55.700><c> of</c><00:26:55.900><c> a</c><00:26:56.039><c> people.</c>

00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:02.359
They're<00:26:58.440><c> not</c><00:26:58.640><c> often</c><00:26:59.140><c> upset</c><00:26:59.799><c> by</c><00:27:00.559><c> criticism</c><00:27:01.059><c> from</c><00:27:01.440><c> others.</c>

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.380
But,<00:27:04.319><c> of</c><00:27:04.480><c> course,</c><00:27:04.599><c> the</c><00:27:04.759><c> lesson</c><00:27:05.000><c> that</c><00:27:05.619><c> Christ</c><00:27:05.859><c> was</c><00:27:06.099><c> bringing</c>

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:07.079

00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:09.519
was<00:27:07.259><c> the</c><00:27:07.500><c> need</c><00:27:07.740><c> as</c><00:27:07.980><c> well</c><00:27:08.140><c> to</c><00:27:08.380><c> cooperate</c><00:27:08.920><c> with</c><00:27:09.240><c> others.</c>

00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.980
And<00:27:10.200><c> we</c><00:27:10.380><c> noticed</c><00:27:10.680><c> that</c><00:27:10.940><c> in</c><00:27:11.180><c> verses</c><00:27:11.480><c> 7</c><00:27:12.000><c> and</c><00:27:12.259><c> 10</c>

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:17.160
that<00:27:13.960><c> one</c><00:27:14.160><c> of</c><00:27:14.299><c> the</c><00:27:14.420><c> lessons</c><00:27:14.680><c> was</c><00:27:15.000><c> the</c><00:27:16.039><c> need</c><00:27:16.240><c> to</c><00:27:16.660><c> cooperate</c>

00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:18.160
with<00:27:17.759><c> partners</c>

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.619
to<00:27:18.619><c> achieve</c><00:27:19.380><c> a</c><00:27:20.039><c> great</c><00:27:20.220><c> benefit.</c>

00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:23.559
And<00:27:20.859><c> so</c><00:27:21.140><c> that's</c><00:27:21.759><c> why</c><00:27:21.980><c> in</c><00:27:22.140><c> verse</c><00:27:22.279><c> 7</c><00:27:22.500><c> it</c><00:27:22.640><c> says</c><00:27:22.779><c> they</c><00:27:23.059><c> beckoned</c><00:27:23.359><c> to</c>

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:24.819
their<00:27:23.779><c> partners,</c>

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:28.720
and<00:27:25.220><c> verse</c><00:27:25.500><c> 10</c><00:27:25.839><c> says</c><00:27:26.380><c> James</c><00:27:26.980><c> and</c><00:27:27.180><c> John</c><00:27:27.420><c> the</c><00:27:27.579><c> sons</c><00:27:27.799><c> of</c><00:27:28.420><c> Zebedee</c>

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:30.460
which<00:27:28.960><c> were</c><00:27:29.140><c> partners</c><00:27:29.660><c> with</c><00:27:30.200><c> Simon.</c>

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:35.720
So<00:27:30.660><c> this</c><00:27:31.160><c> idea</c><00:27:31.559><c> of</c><00:27:31.900><c> cooperation</c><00:27:32.500><c> was</c><00:27:33.420><c> important</c><00:27:34.200><c> as</c><00:27:34.619><c> well.</c>

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:39.420
That<00:27:37.920><c> was</c><00:27:38.059><c> the</c><00:27:38.180><c> lesson</c><00:27:38.359><c> that</c><00:27:38.640><c> impressed</c><00:27:39.059><c> Peter</c>

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:42.339
was<00:27:40.079><c> the</c><00:27:40.319><c> one</c><00:27:40.460><c> of</c><00:27:40.599><c> acknowledgement</c><00:27:41.039><c> of</c><00:27:41.220><c> the</c><00:27:41.420><c> power</c><00:27:41.640><c> of</c><00:27:41.980><c> Christ.</c>

00:27:42.339 --> 00:27:46.000
And<00:27:42.940><c> the</c><00:27:43.079><c> Lord</c><00:27:43.339><c> wanted</c><00:27:43.599><c> to</c><00:27:43.960><c> impress</c><00:27:44.160><c> him</c><00:27:44.319><c> with</c><00:27:44.500><c> the</c><00:27:44.700><c> need</c><00:27:44.859><c> for</c><00:27:45.220><c> persistency.</c>

00:27:46.339 --> 00:27:49.579
I'd<00:27:46.519><c> like</c><00:27:46.539><c> to</c><00:27:46.680><c> come</c><00:27:46.900><c> across</c><00:27:47.240><c> to</c><00:27:47.660><c> John</c><00:27:48.240><c> 21.</c>

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.259
In<00:27:50.200><c> fact,</c><00:27:50.720><c> it's</c><00:27:50.980><c> the</c><00:27:51.140><c> very</c><00:27:51.480><c> same</c><00:27:51.920><c> area.</c>

00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.920
Just<00:27:52.579><c> a</c><00:27:52.880><c> few</c><00:27:53.019><c> years</c><00:27:53.400><c> have</c><00:27:53.640><c> gone</c><00:27:53.859><c> past</c><00:27:54.319><c> now.</c>

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:57.539
We<00:27:55.579><c> come</c><00:27:55.759><c> to</c><00:27:55.920><c> John</c><00:27:56.200><c> 21.</c>

00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.920
The<00:27:58.640><c> only</c><00:27:58.960><c> change</c><00:27:59.380><c> really</c><00:27:59.700><c> is</c><00:27:59.920><c> the</c><00:28:00.200><c> change</c><00:28:00.519><c> of</c><00:28:00.960><c> time.</c>

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:05.859
It's<00:28:02.380><c> the</c><00:28:02.579><c> very</c><00:28:02.900><c> same</c><00:28:03.240><c> spot</c><00:28:03.700><c> where</c><00:28:04.859><c> our</c><00:28:05.160><c> initial</c><00:28:05.420><c> reference</c>

00:28:05.859 --> 00:28:07.180
was<00:28:06.339><c> to.</c>

00:28:07.819 --> 00:28:10.980
And<00:28:08.059><c> we</c><00:28:08.160><c> might</c><00:28:08.359><c> say</c><00:28:08.599><c> why</c><00:28:08.880><c> are</c><00:28:09.039><c> these</c><00:28:09.299><c> disciples</c><00:28:09.720><c> back</c><00:28:10.200><c> in</c><00:28:10.579><c> Galilee?</c>

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:13.359
Well,<00:28:11.700><c> that's</c><00:28:11.920><c> where</c><00:28:12.079><c> they</c><00:28:12.359><c> started</c><00:28:12.660><c> their</c><00:28:12.980><c> apprenticeship</c>

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:15.380
and<00:28:13.579><c> they're</c><00:28:13.799><c> back</c><00:28:13.960><c> there</c><00:28:14.220><c> again.</c>

00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:18.279
