Jesus chose fishermen as His disciples. They knew how to catch fish. He knew their trade and skill would translate well into winning souls. They knew about bait, nets, bodies of water, persistence etc. “He that winneth souls is wise.” [Pr. 11:30]
A fisherman knows those fish are down there. He goes where they are. He studies them. He waits for his opportunity. He is prepared to catch to them, the more the better.
We are not called to merely get through life successfully … we are called to lay down our lives for others, to evangelize the world, to win our neighbors to Christ. Let’s get after it.
