When Jesus saw Peter and Andrew throwing their nets into the lake He called them to something more than making a living. He wanted to give them something that was really worth living for.
And dying for.
He said, Follow me. And Peter and Andrew left everything behind to follow Him. Jesus call all these years later hasnt changed. Hes still calling us to follow Him. What has changed is that we dont seem to understand in our day what it means to follow Jesus.
The early disciples said yes and then traveled with Him everywhere He went for the next few years. We answer yes, but we dont really go where He wants us to go. Sometimes we do. But much of the time, we dont. Like the rich young man, were too busy pursuing our own interests. Or were too afraid to go places where He seems to be leading. We play it safe.
In volume 7 of The Laborers Journal, Kingdom Building Ministries speakers Caleb Bislow, John Vermilya, Adrian Despres and Dwight Robertson challenge us to follow Jesus with more than our mouths. They challenge us to follow Jesus with our whole lives.
