When Jesus called His first followers, He had very clear intentions: “I will make you fishers of men.” He didn’t mention making them better people or even saving them from their sins—although He did those things, too. But of all the things He could have emphasized, Jesus announced that His primary agenda for those who follow Him is to use them to introduce others to their loving heavenly Father. It was true in Jesus’ time. And it’s still true today.BIG IDEA: It’s not enough to follow. To follow is to fish.
