Do you know what type of people Jesus chose to be his first disciples? Fishermen. Jesus could have chosen anyone from any occupation, but he chose fishermen to be his first disciples. Jesus explained why: “From now on you will fish for people” (Luke 5:10). Becoming Jesus’ disciples didn’t actually change their occupation. They were still fishermen. Instead of fishing for fish, however, they were now going to fish for people. That’s what Jesus calls all of us to do: Fish for people. Like a fisherman casts out his line over and over again, never knowing which cast will result in a fish, Jesus calls on Christians to cast out God’s Word over and over again, never knowing when God will use his Word to miraculously change hearts and lives. I hope you can listen to this sermon: “Let Down Your Nets.” Jesus loves you!
