THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE · STUDY 05
Luke 5:1–39
Jesus Calls Sinners to Follow Him
A Guided Journey Through Scripture
UNDERSTANDING LUKE 5
Called to Follow Jesus
Jesus calls ordinary people to leave their old lives behind and follow Him. After a miraculous catch of fish, Peter recognizes his own sinfulness in the presence of Jesus, yet Jesus invites him into a new purpose.
Throughout the chapter, Jesus demonstrates His authority by cleansing a man with leprosy and forgiving and healing a paralyzed man. He also calls Levi, a tax collector, and shares a meal with people considered sinners, revealing the kind of people He came to save.
As you read, notice how people respond to Jesus, what His actions reveal about His authority, and what it truly means to leave everything behind and follow Him.
Jesus has the authority to forgive sins and calls sinners to leave their old lives behind and follow Him.
