5:4-6 What is the lesson to be learned from what happened here?
This is a lesson in faith for every professing Christian. Peter had already been out all night and caught nothing, but at Jesus' word he went out again. Regardless of what his sense knowledge told him.
"…Master, we have toiled all the night, and taken nothing," he did what Jesus said, "…nevertheless at Thy word, I will let down the net." Because Jesus said it, Peter did it, and it worked. And it will work for us too if we will but believe totally in the testimony of scripture and act on it.
In so doing we release the creative power of God's word to work in our circumstances and change them if need be. God's word has the power within itself for its own fulfillment (cp Nu 23:19; Isa 55:10-11).
