Luke 5 is a portrait of radical obedience. From Peter leaving his boat to Levi leaving his tax booth, we see how one encounter with Jesus can flip a life upside down — or rather, right-side up. Jesus not only calls sinners, He transforms them. And His invitation still stands: “Follow Me.” He meets us where we are — in the boat, in the dirt, in our brokenness — and if we’ll say yes, He’ll do the rest. Will you leave everything to follow Him today?
