After John the Baptist was taken into custody, Jesus entered Galilee preaching the Gospel. As he walked along the seashore, he saw two fisherman, Simon and Andrew casting a net into the sea and said to them,
“Come, Follow me.”
-Mark 1:17
They immediately left their nets and followed Him. On the next Sabbath, they were with Jesus in Capernaum where people were “amazed at His teaching because He taught them as one who had authority (Mark 1:22).”
The simplest definition of a disciple of Jesus is to be a “follower.” Discipleship is the relational process which enables a person to grow from childhood to maturity in Christ. When Simon and Andrew dropped their nets and followed Jesus, the direction of their lives was transformed forever as they became examples for every believer to follow.
Are you a follower of Christ? Have you made that deeply personal, life-transforming decision to follow Him?
Today, we are launching a new series called DISCIPLE where you will explore what it means to follow Christ and allow Him to shape and guide your life.
Dare to ask God to reveal more to you about what it means to follow Him,
God’s passion for His people can not be extinguished. Do you embody this same passion?
