In the three-storied universe of the biblical imagination, the bottom “floor” was the sea or ocean. Here was the place of chaos, confusion, evil, and death. Into this deep, Jesus told Peter and his companions to let down their nets for a catch and afterward made them fishers of men. In this video, Chad Bird will peel back Old Testament layers of symbolism behind the sea, fishing, nets, and more so that we can read Luke 5:1-11 through Hebrew eyes.
