Contemplate the moment in history when four fishermen were working the sea on what must have started out as a regular day. Jesus approached them. “Follow me,” He said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” With that, Jesus beckoned these men spoken of in Matthew 4 to leave behind their professions, possessions, dreams, ambitions, family, friends, safety, and security. He bid them to choose. {tweetme}“If anyone is going to follow Me,” Jesus said, “He must deny himself.” {/tweetme} That is an invitation and a command. In a world where everything revolves around self—protect yourself, promote yourself, preserve yourself, entertain yourself, comfort yourself, take care of yourself—Jesus says, “die to self” and you will surely live.
