Come Follow Me

Mark 1:16-17 (NIV)
16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
17 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

Jesus calls out to Simon and Andrew. He preaches to crowds in the days to come, but He calls followers individually and still does today. He speaks to each one of us: “Come, follow me.” He invites us not just to do what He says, but to do what He did, to live like He lived, and to join Him where He lives. He has led the way. He takes ordinary people like you and me and calls us to an extraordinary life. He can take what we are and multiply it, just as He did when He fed a multitude with a few loaves and fish. When we say yes, we embark on an amazing journey into the kingdom of God.
