Matthew 4:19 And he said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Christ came upon these men when they were busy at their everyday work. He saw them casting net into the sea. His eye is upon us in all the work we do in the world. And as:He looks upon us, so He calls us. It is true we may be so absorbed in other pursuits as not to hear the call. I. What was His call? They were to leave their work that they .might engage in higher work. II. How shall we hope to be successful? 1. We must follow Christ. 2. We must submit to His teaching and influence. 3. Christ only can qualify us for the work. (A. Thomas.)
