And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will
make you to become fishers of men (Mark 1:17).
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will
make you fishers of men (Matthew 4:19).
Come Ye After Me.
Jesus called His disciples to follow Him and it took three years for them to learn about Jesus and to personally know Him. As a result of their relationship with Jesus, they had “fished” thousands of souls to Jesus. When we first accepted Christ into our hearts, we studied God’s Word to help us grow in Christ personally. And then Holy Spirit help us to introduce Christ to others and encourage them to ask Jesus to come into their hearts. Then we become “fishers for souls,” winning them to Jesus and help them to grow into Christ’s loving relationship. They, in turn, do the same for others.
Song: Fishers of Men
1. I will make you fishers of men, fishers of men;
Fishers of men, I will make you fishers of men
If you follow Me; If you follow Me, If you follow Me,
I will make you fishers of men if you follow Me.
2. Hear Christ calling, Come unto Me, come unto Me,
Come unto Me; Hear Christ calling, Come unto Me,
I will give you rest, I will give you rest, I will you rest;
Hear Christ calling, Come unto Me, I will give you rest.
