Mark: The Preparation - 3

This message completes the Preparation series in the book of Mark. In this passage (Mark 1:16-20), Jesus will call the first four of His twelve disciples. He is looking for specific people, and calling for a specific response, “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people.” A movement is beginning that will take the Good News into all the world. Jesus is gathering the 12 disciples to prepare them to keep the movement going after He was gone. They were successful. The baton has now been passed to us, but the instructions remain the same, “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people.”
