—Mark 1:14-20
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men" (v. 17). These words initiated years of following and learning for the disciples. They sat at the feet of Jesus and listened. They walked behind Jesus and watched. God worked in the heart of the disciples and they learned. The faithful, immediate, and obedient example of the disciples is one that we hope to follow.
Jesus promised to make them fishers of men. Jesus expected them to sit, follow, watch, and learn. He wanted them to invite, lead, and teach. The disciples were to say, as Paul said, "Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1). Having accepted Christ's call on your life, are you ready to reach out and say, "Follow Me!"
