? Luke 5:3
“And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.” Another step of obedience taken by Peter was to thrust out from the land a little. Jesus was already in the ship.

Luke 5:1-6 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
KJV
The life of Paul certainly demonstrates just how he was bound to Jesus Christ and those cords and bound him were cords of love. We also find that those bonds brought great rewards. (Rom 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you […]

KJV

At that time it was a word understood as many were sold into slavery, born into slavery, or captured as slaves, they became bound to others for life. Paul considered himself bound to Jesus Christ. Why? Because of […]

12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
KJV
If I commit my way unto the Lord this day what will come to pass in my life? That is the […]
Luke 24:27-32 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he […]
Luke 22:39-43 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 […]
Luke 22:13-16 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
KJV
What was […]
Luke 19:35-38 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be […]
