What if that happened today

Lets go back in time a little ways.  Lets go back to around the time when Jesus started His ministry.  Christianity hadn't started, nobody really knew who Christ was, & Christ was looking for workers to spread His word.  That got me thinking that those conditions were not really all that different from today.  So that got me to thinking what if that happened today.  Christ had just got done preaching & was walking along the seashore when He came upon a boat of fishermen.  That's right fishermen, not a church full of preachers, not a seminary of pastoral hopefuls, but fishermen.  That was who Christ chose to spread His word & change the world.  So what if He was walking by & come upon us at our job & asked us to fishers of men, to spread His message & change the world.  Would we be too busy, not unqualified, or would we do as the first disciples did & follow Him. Because they did follow Him  he gave them the words & power they needed to do His work.  Could a group of 12 today with Christ working through them, change the world.  Why not?  Could you be one of the 12 He would ask to do such a thing?  Could you be one of the disciples He could use today?  Thre is a great work to do & there is a need for workers devoted to Christ, who believe in His power, to get out & be willing to be one of those disciples.  Why not you?
