Pastor’s Pen

Beloved, as I was reading these verses the key verse, Mark 1:17 stood out to me. It reads as follows, “And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
Now Jesus said these words to Peter and his brother Andrew, but Jesus is also speaking these words to us today, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men!” Notice a couple of things about this key verse. One, we all start by following Jesus. Where does Christianity start? It starts with following Jesus. He is the leader, we follow him!
Secondly, He will make us fishers of men. Now, Jesus was the world’s greatest fisher of men. But He wants us to fish for men as well. So, how do we do it? Beloved, He will show us how, for He says, “I will make you fishers of men.” This discipleship takes time but don’t worry, Jesus is a great teacher.
Beloved, if you have ever wondered how to fish for men, I want to give you an opportunity. Next Sunday we have Ryan Reis coming in to hold a revival night.  Invite someone to come with you! Invite an unbelieving friend or relative or neighbor. Let’s start fishing for men and women!
