Question of the Day: Why is following Jesus the greatest life of all?
Read about It
Read: Luke 5:7–10
A miracle happened! Simon Peter did what Jesus asked. Then, the huge catch of fish weighed his boat down so much that it almost sank. This was a huge reason to rejoice. Simon Peter fell on his knees before Jesus. Simon called himself a sinful man. He also realized how amazing Jesus was. Simon Peter’s life had changed in an instant because of Jesus.
There are lots of blessings, or good things, we will receive in this life. However, none of them will ever compare to following Jesus. What the world has to offer us may seem great. It could make us very happy for a short time. But, if we follow Jesus like Simon Peter did, we will see God’s miracles at work in our life. Following Jesus is the greatest life because He is always with us and He is always there to help us.
