Matthew 4:20–22

20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

 

One thought:

When the God-King turns up at your workplace – do what He says

 

Three questions:

Is Matthew giving us a picture of repentance here?

 

What have you given up to follow Jesus?

 

Reflect on what aspects of your life still require ‘leaving’.

Prayer:

Praise God that He calls us out of an ordinary life and into a life of new identity and purpose. Give thanks that Jesus has called you to follow Him. Ask God to help you + someone else give up your old life and follow Him with every part of your life.
