Luke 5:1-3
1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
As Jesus went and made disciples, He taught them from wherever they were as they came to Him. Here they had a need to urgently come near Him to hear, and so Jesus got into a boat there so as to be better heard by the crowd. Sitting. He made sure they could hear, and made them at ease by sitting. Do we follow His example, plainly take advantage of circumstances to clearly speak and teach those wanting to hear God's word?
