“Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Mark 1: 17).
These are the words of Jesus the Fisher of men to new recruits Simon and Andrew. What I love most about this incident is this:
"Then they abandoned their nets and followed him." (Mark 1: 18). Do you notice the immediacy of the response? God loves the cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9: 7). Social psychologists teach that spontaneity and immediacy of response point to a good finish. Remember a young Virgin called Mary? "Yes I will. Let it be done to me according to your words." She too left everything and embraced her mission.
Jesus is still passing by. He is still calling. He has tremendous good news to share. For example:
"I have come that they may have life,
and have it more abundantly." (John 10: 10).
Will you too be a fisher of men?
