Let's get fishin

It's time for Jesus to start His ministry & He's looking for disciples to go with Him to help Him spread the message & learn from Him.  So if you are Jesus where do you go look?  Probably not where Christ went.  He went to the Sea of Galilee & found a bunch of tired, frustrated, sweaty, smelly.fishermen to be the men he would use to change the world.  He didn't ask what college or seminary they attended.  He knew their hearts.  He knew their strengths & weaknesses.  Again, He was interested in their hearts & their availability.  Today He's still interested in those same things.  Today He's still looking for people who have the heart & availability to serve Him.  Do you think that Christ can still take 12 people who are devoted to Him & use them to change the world?  Don't you think in today's world Christs message of love & hope is needed?  Luke 5:10 says Christ told Peter, " Don't be afraid! From now on you'll be fishing for people!" His message hasn't changed from then to now.  He still wants us to be fishing for people.  If He could take a few fishermen & use them to spread His word, cast out demons, & start His church, what could He do with a few fired up devoted Christians today?  It starts with you!
