The disciples could be reprimanded for many things … but we have to admire their response to God’s call.
In fact, their response to Jesus’ call is an incredible act of faith.
Matthew 4 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
I love those two words: At once
At once they left their nets and followed Him.
There is power in immediate obedience. And Peter and Andrew were quick to obey. They followed Jesus with passion and loyalty and without hesitation.
Matthew 4 18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
As I read this verse today, I am motivated. Jesus called us to “go” …
In Luke 9:60 He says to “go and preach the Kingdom”.
In Mark 16:15 He says to “go and preach the gospel”.
In John 5 He says to “go and sin no more”.
Peter and Andrew were the exact people that Jesus needed, and it was because they listened to the word “go”.
What is your “go” word today or for the upcoming season?
What is God calling you to do?
As I sit in worship this morning, I have to enjoy this song. I enjoy this song because I am weak, yet He is strong. Going into any situation without God, we are sitting ducks for hell. But with Him?
With Him, we can GO.
So … find Him and GO.
In The Name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
