Start walking with Jesus and your story really gets intriguing. This is one of many ways to speak of what it is like to get connected up with Jesus. He shares the truth, He calls people into His life, challenges them to reconsider what they once believed to be true, to believe in God, and to join Him on a journey of walking into tomorrow from within the embrace of God.

So it was that Simon and Andrew and James and John got connected up with Jesus. They were fishermen by trade but had apparently been impacted by what they heard in the preaching of Jesus. Then one day Jesus ups and calls them to walk away from their trade and to follow Him. They would still be fishermen, He said, but in a completely different way.

Men and women need God but men and women don't naturally gravitate toward God so God has a force of men and women who, in a sense, fish for men and women. That is, they invite others to consider the possibility of Jesus, and to come to Him. There testimony: God has changed my life for the better. It can happen to you, too."

Jesus told His disciples that the kingdom of God was at hand (Mark 1:15) and that they were invited into this kingdom. Simon and Andrew and James and John heard the message, received it, turned around and embraced the life of Jesus. It changed their destiny, even though at the time they probably had no idea what was coming down the pike at them.

"Follow Me," Jesus said (Mark 1:17). Isn't that enough? Join up and start following Jesus. You don't have to have every T crossed and every I dotted. Follow Him. He will build your life as you journey with Him. The kingdom of God is here. Wherever Jesus is, all the possibilities of God are present.
