Jesus Calls His First Disciples

Faith! It only need be the size of a mustard seed…

Mark 1:16-20
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 send you out to fish for people.” 18 At once they left their nets and followed him.

19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

As Jesus walked past them, they dropped what they were doing and followed Him. It’s exactly what we will do as soon as we see Him.

But why wait, He is coming. No need to sit around and wait, Jesus has called and given us the authority to take care of things until He returns. He left us with the Holy Spirit.

Let it all go. All the distraction, all the wants, even all the needs. Get rid of them and watch Him take your hand and guide you to perfect harmony. Not easy. Perfect. The way that these men followed Jesus.

Amen.
