OUR FATHER WHOSE SON BROUGHT THE MESSAGE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

After moving to Capernaum, the Lord Jesus, being close to Sea of Galilee, came across some of the people of the community who made a living fishing and He called them to follow Him, expressly telling them that He was going to turn them into fishers of men.

Mathew chapter 4 verses 18 - 22 describes how Simon (later named Peter), Andrew, James and John were called out of the fishing industry and reassigned to the netting of men for the kingdom of God.

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Amen
