Just a few of the things that stuck out to me during the sermon on Sunday. They will be rather disjointed, I'm sorry! The sermon was on Matthew 4:18-22, where Jesus called Peter, Andrew, James, and John to follow him and become fishers of men.
~ To follow someone, you have to be facing the same direction as them.
~ Allegiance to Jesus affects every aspect of your life!
~ Jesus call is actually: "I am going to fish for men. Come join me!"
~ Human beings looked at God in the flesh and said, "Nah, not interested," or even worse, "Evil! Kill Him!" But He went through with His plan and died for sins he hadn't committed. He died for MY sins. Then he was raised to sit beside God in heaven. I think that this proves He is totally trustworthy.
That last point... wow. It really made me stop and think. How often do I take for granted what Jesus did? He didn't have to go through all that torture. But He did. Because He loves me. Wow.
