How Fast Do You Follow?

We were asked the question today at church. Imagine you are standing by the Sea of Galilee, if you were one of the fishermen, when Jesus said to you, "Follow Me," what would you do?

Will I do what Simon Peter and Andrew did - immediately leave their nets and follow Jesus? (Matt 4:19-20). That is a tough question! But when Jesus called the disciples, they immediately left everything and followed Him. And that response was the beginning of a journey that ended up changing their lives....and the course of history.

I believe there is a valuable lesson in this story. That lesson is to learn to follow fast!
