TOUCHED BY JESUS
Luke 5: 1-11
One of my friends in Philippine always talks to me about the Jeepney. He said that he likes to use Jeepney because he wants to be touched by the other people, especially by the girl. He was joking to me but I think it is true. As a man, he surely wants to touch and to be touched by the girl.
In the Gospel, we see how Peter touched by Jesus. He was almost not in hoping to get fish. One night they got nothing. But in that morning, Jesus asked him to low the net. For sure that by the obedience he put the net. What will happen? Peter was very happy. Finally, they get a lot of fish. Abundance in quantity.
Peter is not only touched but also changed by Jesus. His mentality is really changed. From the despair to the hope. From sadness to joy. Peter is able to let himself guide by Jesus. Jesus, in fact, able to transform us in His way. That is what Peter did.
So, touched by Jesus means not only physically touching but also affect on the mentality. Peter was happy getting a lot of fish but he will get a lot of joyful moment with Jesus.
When am I touched spiritually by Jesus?
