fishers of men

1715We cannot be fishers of men if we remain in the same element with them. Fish will not be fishers. The sinner will not convert the sinner. The ungodly man will not convert the ungodly man. And what is more to the point, the worldly Christian will not convert the world.—32.339

Charles Spurgeon

The apostles were fishers on lake Gennesaret before they became “fishers of men.”

Jerome

“I will make you fishers of men. I’ll make you someone who knows how to draw people out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.”

Timothy Keller
