and the sheep follow Him

Love the story of Christ catching Simon the fishcatcher in Luke5. He enters Simon's boat and asks Him to push off and from the start, Simon obeys. And after teaching the masses from the stern (or bow, whatever), He instructs Simon on the finer points of his own career. Rather than react negatively to a stranger who may or may not know what advice to even give, Simon recognizes Christ's authority and power and identity from His teaching, and immediately, immediately responds with a confession of sinfulness and a confession of unworthiness. A perfect model of obedience and response to who Christ is.
