Who Will Follow Jesus?
I don’t think you can read the first four books of the New Testament, what we call the Gospels, and not be intrigued by people’s response to Jesus. In our reading today, Mark tells us about four men who choose to follow Jesus. How often have you read this account and simply moved on, not giving it too much thought. This morning, I want us to see it again with fresh eyes, and think about who these men are and what they are being called to do. Also, I want you to consider yourself and think about how you would have responded if you had been in their shoes.
