Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. (Matthew 4:19-20)
Peter and Andrew were casting their net into the sea when Jesus called them to follow Him. These professional fishermen dropped what they were doing to follow Christ. They were still going to fish but they were going to be fishers of men.
Soul-winning is a worthy endeavor. In fact, it’s a command from God rooted in the Great Commission. Bringing someone to Christ is a calling for all believers in Christ.
The call of Christ is the same for us today. We are called to persuade others by the help of the Holy Spirit. It’s not by coercion or manipulation but by a passionate intent to win others to Christ.
Let’s go fishing!
