Overview:

Jesus is calling for change of heart. What He asks is for radical inward transformation; it is the price of admission to His kingdom.

Nothing more. Nothing less. 

For a headstrong fisherman who experiences a disastrous night of fishing at a time when things seem like they could not get worse, Simon encounters someone and something he never expected. It signals the start of something life changing.

Simon and his brother Andrew are at the brink of disaster, and despite the prompting from his wife to return to God, Simon continues to try and fix things himself. In his own way, Simon does turn back, but doesn’t realize just what is in store for him.
