Understanding and developing the best means to reach people for the Faith Part I Jesus calls us to Himself, and then calls us to reach others for Him! Are we willing to Follow Me? If not, how will we become Fishers of Men? Jesus gives us a call to step into Him with faith. Come, follow me was extended to the disciples, and their response was evident as they left their boats and followed. A call was also given to them to then step out with their faith. I will make you fishers of men to others-without irresistible pressure, yet with passion and conviction. That call was unprecedented in their culture and understanding. Normally, a student would seek out a teacher, a Rabbi. A Rabbi would never seek students, as it was a pride issue. Jesus broke the pride and arrogance barrier to model that we are to seek disciples, and not just wait for them to come to us. This call also tells us that before we can teach others to fish, we have to know the fish and know how to fish. In so doing, we can challenge one another to leave our comfort zone and enter the realm of His faith, worship, service, and outreach. intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?blogid=3844&view=post&articleid=32248&fldKeywords=&fldAuthor=&fldTopic=0
