And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. (Mark 1:17)

I recently read. Simon and his friends were fishermen on the Sea of Galilee. Then Jesus arrived and called them to follow Him. He gave them a new purpose. No longer would they fish for fish. As Jesus told them, “Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men” (Mark 1:17).

With this new purpose set for their lives, these men were taught and trained by Jesus so that, after His ascension, they could be used by God to capture the hearts of people with the message of the cross and resurrection of Christ. Today, we follow in their steps as we share the good news of Christ’s love and salvation.

May our lives both declare and exhibit this love that can change the lives, purposes, and eternal destinies of others.

Have a wonderful day in The Lord!

Today’s Reading is Mark 1:16-22
