This is a really neat one. I actually thought it was gonna be about Jesus at first, but then I realized it was us, or anyone, who's a fisher of man. Makes me think of a pastor who can preach to his congregation over and over again, sometimes getting stuck in the mundane and familiarity of Sunday morning every week. But the reminder is we're fishing for deep inside man, and so we keep trying, waiting for that point when one, or more, have the white whale of conviction raised in them, and change is at last brought to the surface.
This reminds me of a fundamentalist street preacher whom every one ignores and avoids by going to the other side of the street. Perhaps he becomes self aware realizing he's been chasing a white whale.
It does not help to make waves when the surface is unresponsive. Life must begin in the stirring depths. The longings below will sometimes answer the call.
Count me slightly baffled...is meant to draw a comparison between calling to those who cannot will not hear a gospel invitation, and speaking to fish in the sea???
