When Fish begin to Fish

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him.

Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

(Mt 4:18-22 NIV)

We are involved - Busy: The Reasonable Career

We Are Enticed - Bait: The Risky Call

We are convinced - Bite: The Radical Commitment

We are Captivated - Busy: The Remarkable Catch

Conclusion: Jesus is the bait, we are the fish, when He is lifted up he will draw men unto Himself, We present Jesus,
