## Resource

Today we're camping out in Luke chapter 5, and it answers an important question: Why does Jesus have the authority to forgive sins? Luke begins with Simon Peter after a long night of fishing. He had worked hard but caught nothing. Then Jesus told him, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." Even though it didn't make sense, Peter obeyed.
