Sea of Galilee Fishermen: Fishing Was No Vacation
$10.00
A Night on the Sea of Galilee
Before the sun rises over the Sea of Galilee, fishermen are already at work, pulling in their nets and sorting their catch. Fishing was an important part of everyday life around the lake and became closely connected with the stories of Jesus and several of his disciples
Description
Fishing was no vacation
Peter and Andrew were not out casting a line in the water for relaxation. Fishing was how they made a living. So when Jesus told them to leave their nets and follow him, he was asking them to walk away from steady work, a solid income, and the family business.
The same goes for James and John, who were working with their father.
Fishing towns lined the Sea of Galilee. There were docks, boats, and people whose lives depended on the lake. That makes this scene easier to feel.
Jesus didn’t interrupt a weekend hobby. He interrupted a workday – and changed four careers on the spot.
