Mark 1:5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
Mark 1:17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men." 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
Mark 1:20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
-
Mark 1:32 That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons.
-
As the Gospel of Mark begins we see John the Baptist calling the people of the countryside to come away from all that is comfortable and familiar and wash in the river of holiness.....and many did go and many were baptized. Would you have gone?
-
And as Jesus commenced his ministry he asked two pairs of fishing brothers (Andrew and Simon / James and John) to follow him so they could learn to fish for men...and immediately they left all that was familiar to their daily life...Would you have gone?
-
And as Jesus proclaimed the truth of God's kingdom being available to men and demonstrated that through teaching with authority and healing from disease and demons, many brought the sick and needy to Jesus....Will you bring others to Jesus?
-
blessings!
