Jesus Teaches

Good Day To Everyone:

    I would like to look at Matthew 4:18-22, which reads - 18 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

This part of Matthew's Gospel is where Jesus started his ministry of calling and teaching his disciples.  I would like to point out when Jesus called, his disciples listened and they did follow him.  When a person follows Jesus he must follow him all the way, if Jesus wants you to give up on what you own, then you must give up like the sons of Zebedee did, they left there fishing business, to follow Jesus. 

Jesus taught his disciples using different means.  Some of those means where story telling, lecturing, discussions and Q&A with his disciples.  To follow Jesus you must follow his examples of what he taught, some of which are to obay Jesus commandments, to pray in a special way, to follow what Jesus had to say, and to serve or to help when needed.

In the next 3 or 4 weeks I will being looking more closely at these four instructions that Jesus gave his disciples.  Until then I hope you all have a good day.
