FISHERS OF MEN

“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.  And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.  And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.”

Matthew 4:18-20 KJV

There are people who get up very early in the morning to go fishing.  However, some people won’t get up early in the morning to allow Jesus to make them fishers of men.  Why is it that we can stay up very late at night to watch television but we are too tired to visit people who are hurting?

May we realize how important and how urgent it is to be fishers of men.  There are people who will not go to Heaven if Jesus comes back for us today or God calls them home.  O that we would fall in love with Jesus and do all that we can do to serve Him.  He not only loves us, He died on the cross for our sins. 

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for watching television so late at night and then are too tired to call and visit people the next day.  People who are lonely, hurting and who desperately need to know how much Jesus loves them and that He loves them unconditionally.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
