Fishers of Men

We as Christians have the same calling, and that’s to be disciples. Jesus says, “Follow me,” and “make disciples.” He calls us to take the good news of God’s salvation to the ends of the earth. God’s great purpose, as the last book of the Bible indicates, is that people from every tribe, nation, people, and language will one day praise Him.

We are often tempted to exempt ourselves from God’s great plan by saying, “I’m not called to be a missionary” as if that excuses us from being fishers of people. We are willing to claim God’s promise of abundant life but not His promise to become a witness who makes disciples.

Today, perhaps God has given you a heart for a ministry near your home that blesses your neighbours. Fantastic! But millions around the world do not follow Jesus. Whether you’re a child, a young person, or an adult, will you ask God if He is calling you to be a missionary? We must give our all to enable people around the world to know God. He has given us these radical promises: “All authority … has been given to me.” “I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Let’s be radically occupied with ways to make His glory known at home and around the world.

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” (Matthew 4:19)

Let’s Pray

Yahweh, you never wavered from your calling to bring salvation to the whole world. Father help me to be faithful as I hear your call to be a fisher of men, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
