Matthew 4:18-22 AMP
[18] As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He noticed two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
[19] And He said to them, “Follow Me [as My disciples, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I walk], and I will make you fishers of men.”
[20] Immediately they left their nets and followed Him [becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example].
[21] And going on [further] from there He noticed two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them [to follow Him as His disciples].
[22] Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him [becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example].
God does not call His disciples from great men, not from the Pharisees or the scribes, but from the shore of the lake. There, Jesus called His disciples, fishermen, who would not have predicted that they would someday become the Disciples of Jesus Christ.
Jesus’ disciples were very ordinary people, perhaps more ordinary than we are, but they were called, and they may not have known who Jesus was, but Jesus knew that they would change the world.
Jesus called his disciples, and he also calls us all.
Perhaps our parents did not dream of us becoming servants of God, and we also did not know, but it all happened because there was a plan from God, which is beyond anything we can think of.
As servants of God, He has prepared a mansion for us and we will meet the God that we worship.
We do not work without a master, but we work for Him in eternity, and His name is Jesus.
When we have finished working, we are going to see Him. Don’t think we are not His people, don’t waste God’s calling, because thousands of people are waiting for us.
God has called us, no matter what our weaknesses are; we are God’s chosen ones. Maybe we are not famous, not rich, but we have the highest calling from Heaven
