Grace for your spirit August 2, 2010

Grace for your spirit
And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Mt 4:19

Some of Jesus' earliest disciples were professional fishermen. They understood the way to catch fish in large numbers. They would chum the waters with bait and then lower their nets and gently lift the fish out of the water into the boat. Most of us fish with a fishing rod and hook. We hook one and drag it in. Jesus' plan was for more nets, and less hooks. The earliest followers must have wondered what they would be using for bait to bring souls into their nets. They soon got the answer. They were the bait. The same is true for us today. We are all called to be fishers of men. We too are called to be the bait that draws soul into the net for Jesus. We lure the catch in with the aroma of Christ living in us.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
