Matthew
4:19
"And he said
to them, 'Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" ESV
Following Christ
is no easy task. It means we will be imitating the things Jesus did while He was
on earth. We will be patterning ourselves after the ways He treated others. We
will purpose to be like Him in His fellowship with the Father. If we follow Him
in these ways, we are lifting Him up. Jesus told us in His Word that if we lift
Him up, He will draw all men to Him. Our spiritual nets will be full and
overflowing with the catch of those who have been touched by Christ through
us.
Heavenly Father,
we long to be like You. Help us to fill our hearts and minds with the things of
God so that we will be more like You. We thank You and glorify Your name at the
number of people who will be drawn to You by Your sacrifice at Calvary through
our commitment to following You. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
