We have seen the birth of Jesus Christ, and we learned a little bit about his growing up years. Summary of Luke 1-4īefore we look there, let me remind you what we have learned so far in Luke. Only, it will cost you everything.” The stage is set in Luke 5:1.
They are fishermen, and they get their greatest haul of fish ever, and then Jesus comes along and says, “You think that was great? I’ve got something even greater for you to fish for. Well, as we continue to study the life of Christ in Luke, this is almost exactly what we see happen to a couple of fellows at the Sea of Galilee.
Sure, the fishing guide said you would have to give him everything, but it might just be worth it… Your face would be on all the major news networks. You would be interviewed by all the Late Night talk shows. Now, I guarantee you, there are many people in the world who would say, “Sounds good, who do I make the check out to, and when do we leave?” I mean, think of the fame you would get for being the person who caught the mythical Lake Monster? Or imagine if someone offered you the same deal for catching the Loch Ness Monster? Or for capturing Big Foot? Such an accomplishment would gain you worldwide fame and popularity. To catch the Lake Monster, I want you to give to me everything you own.
Of course, it’s going to be a little bit more expensive than Fishin’ with Shorty.
#5.1 NEW FISH HOW TO#
I know where he lives, and I know how to catch him. Imagine what would have happened, however, if while were we sitting there waiting for our fillets, a man came up and said, “Hey, if you think catching lake trout was fun, I can show you how to catch the mythical Lake Monster. It was a lot of fun, and we did catch fish, but it was expensive! I looked at our small pile of fish fillets, and figured that my uncle had just paid about $30 a pound for lake trout fillets. My uncle wrote out a check to Shorty for taking us charter fishing, and the bill came to several hundred dollars. That was a lot of fun! How come I’ve never done that before?” But as we waited for the fish to be filleted, I found out why I had never gone charter fishing before. We ended up with over 10 pounds of good lake trout fillets. Later that day, when we docked back at the Marina, they took all the fish we had caught and filleted them for us. In fact, everybody on board caught at least one fish. He boasted that he had never been skunked on any charter fishing trip, and that he had a policy that if he ever was skunked (if nobody on his boat caught a fish), he would refund all their money. He told us that he was the most reliable charter fishing company on the Lake. And although the company had several boats with several different captains, we were lucky enough to get Shorty himself. That was the name of the charter company my uncle had hired. So we showed up at the Marina early one Saturday morning, and learned that we were going to go Fishin’ with Shorty. So a few of my family members and I said, “Sure, we’d love to have you take us charter fishing!” Who wouldn’t want that? Several years ago, my uncle came up from Colorado for vacation, and while here, decided that he wanted to go charter fishing on a local lake and take some of us with him.
