Invitation to Journey with Jesus

Can you imagine what it was like to stand there on the boat when Jesus extended the invitation to Peter and Andrew? Put yourself there at the Sea of Galilee and hear the words of the Messiah. “Come, follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” The sound of the waves colliding with the boat? Some sea birds cawing off in the distance? The smell of the sea? I bet those guys remembered that moment vividly. It was the moment that they decided to follow him.

Jesus' invitation to those men there on the boat is rich and weighty, even though they may not have fully understood what they were getting themselves into. They would never be the same. They would become learners of Jesus, they would have their hearts totally renovated and ultimately they would share in a spiritual revolution sparked by none other than God in the flesh.

He invited them to be his disciples, and thereby learn how to make disciples themselves.
What does it mean to leave the nets and follow Jesus? What does it mean to be a disciple?
