“And He saith unto them, ‘Follow Me, & I will make you fishers of men!'” (Matthew. 4:19)
When Jesus walked by the shore, He called to the fishermen who had just caught the biggest haul of their lives: “Come follow Me & I will make you fishers of men!” And immediately they forsook everything else–the fish, their nets, their boat, their livelihood & their old life–& followed Him!
How could they do such a thing? How could they forsake their very living & their own family & friends without notice, to follow this Stranger & His motley crew?–Because He offered them a better life, a better job, in a better place with a better Boss for a better Family & greater rewards!–And those simple fishermen wandered off with a perfect Stranger & made history that has helped save MILLIONS of souls for ETERNITY!
Isn’t that ridiculous now to compare those few fish, a boat, a business & even one father & family which all soon perished, with the millions of immortal souls who have been saved for Eternity through the decision of those simple fishermen to put God first that day, drop everything, forsake all & follow Jesus! Now that we can see the results, it’s easy to know they made the right choice!–Has He called you? Will YOU follow Him?

“耶稣对他们说∶‘来跟从我，我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样！’”（太4:19）
当耶稣经过海边时，他呼唤那些刚刚得到他们一生中最大丰收的渔夫∶“来跟从我，我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样！”于是他们立即舍弃一切，那鱼、他们的网、他们的船、他们的生计、他们以前的生活方式，跟从了他！
他们怎能这样做呢？他们怎能一声招呼也不打就舍弃他们的生计、他们的家庭朋友，去跟随这位“陌生人”以及他那些良莠不齐的一群人呢？因为他提供他们一个更美好的生命，在一个更好的地方，与一个更好的“雇主”，为一个更好的“家庭”做一份更好的工作，而得到更大的奖赏！那些单纯的渔夫，跟着一个完全陌生的人离去，却创造了历史，帮助千百万灵魂获得永恒的救赎！
由于那一天那些单纯的渔夫决定将上帝放在首位，放下一切，舍弃所有来追随耶稣，而使得千百万不朽的灵魂获得永恒的救赎。现在我们若以这些灵魂与那些很快化为乌有的少量渔获、渔船、事业、甚至一个父亲及家庭比较，那些渔获等等看来岂不是很可笑吗？现在我们既能见到结果，我们便很容易知道，他们当时作了正确的选择！他有没有召唤你呢？你将会跟随他吗？
