And He said unto them, Follow me, and I will
make you fishers of men Matthew 419

• Follow Jesus, become a discipleWhat many say,
  if I have to, I cannot do John
  1415Lets go out! Matt 936Spectators or
  doers?

Where do I stand?

• Sketch made of your life
• If Jesus were to join you in your daily
  activities, what would He see? Many think that
  they dont need God? Many seek themselves, not
  God? Many hide their sin? Many arent sincere?
  Outside-inside Many dont really seek Gods
  Kingdom?
• If any man will come after me, let him deny
  himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow
  me Luke 923

Who we are

• is determined by the circumstances we are raised
  in. - who and where - how (by what morals) -
  the choices we made and still make - the things
  done to us by others
• but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind,
  and straining forward to what lies ahead Phil
  313
• How would Paul see his past? - own
  righteousness - guilt feelings (Acts 94) How
  did he see his future? - faith, hope, love

God loves us, gave us hope

• Truly I understand that God shows no partiality,
  but in every nation anyone who fears Him and does
  what is right is acceptable to Him Acts
  1034-35
• Repent and believe in the gospel Mark 115The
  unadulterated gospel (Acts 237-47)
• They that are acceptable to God, who obtained
  mercy
• They who obeyed the gospel from the heart (2 Thes
  214)

5
Those who

• came out of the darkness into God's marvellous
  light (1 Pet 29)
• are saints and faithful brethren (Col 12)?
• devoted and loyal to Christ
• are for God's own possession (1 Pet 29)?
• Purchased by the blood of Christ
• are bought with a price to glorify God in their
  bodies (1 Cor 620)

6

• Not this Lord, let me first go and Luke
  959There are plenty of reasons not to follow.
• But this Peter said we have left everything
  and followed you
• Jesus answered Mark 1029-31
• They emptied themselves
• They let God set the rule
