An Invitation to Discipleship

By Paula Wiseman Leave a Comment

invitation to discipleship title graphic

Come.
It’s is an invitation.
An invitation from Jesus Himself.
It is an invitation to discipleship.

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” Mark 1:17

Notice Jesus doesn’t simply say, “Believe in Me.”
Although He says that often, throughout the gospels.
This is something more.

Come.
To come, what do you have to leave behind?
Are you willing to leave it?

Follow Me.
Stay close. Watch. Learn from. Listen to.
Imitate. Obey.

But there’s more.
Fishers of men.
Not fishing, like a vacation.
No. This is a job.
A task. A calling. A holy responsibility.

Discipleship
So what do you say?
Are you in?
