Mark 1:14-28. Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
What strikes me with this piece is the message of urgency. Jesus got the message from John’s death and acted swiftly. In response to Jesus’ call, Simon and Andrew left their work---dropped their nets; James and John even left their father in the boat! They knew with deepest conviction. That Knowing resides in each of us -it is part of our God DNA. We don’t have to create it or develop it. We just need to learn how to access that which is always present. How? Through education, guidance, and community support, we can live as Disciples of Christ. Today, in our midst, Jesus is telling us to drop our nets and follow him: The Time is Fulfilled.
