Fishers of Men...with Nets
|
The Gospel of Mark tells us about Jesus, but it goes far beyond that in showing us what it is to be a disciple of Jesus!
One of the eye-opening things that we miss about Jesus' calling of the disciples is that He called them to follow him in "team." In both occasions in Mark 1, Jesus calls a pair of brothers to follow Him. So the calling of discipleship is to a new "family" and as a team!
Beyond that, Jesus' calls them to be "fishers of men" as His disciple. Their perspective of fishing was totally different than ours. Immediately our thoughts go to a fishing pole that "I" use to go fishing. These first disciples thought immediately of fishing with NETS...together!
One of the things we took time to do was ask the question: Who can you invite to be fishing with you...as a team?
So who did/can you invite to fish with you?
Would you today start a conversation about a plan for how we can reach out to others TOGETHER?
