Peter's Surrender and Growth Spurts
ParableNature NuggetTestimony★★★★When Peter witnessed the miracle of catching a great number of fish, he was struck with the revelation of his own unholiness. He cried out in both despair and hope, saying ‘Depart from me for I am a sinful man, O Lord.’ But Jesus said to him, Do not be afraid from now on you will catch men. So when they had brought their boats to land they forsook all and followed him.
