They Left Their Nets

When Jesus called the disciples and said to them "Follow me," they left their nets, their boats, their jobs, and their families. What was there about this Man that caused them to forsake all?

Was it something in His voice? His eyes? His face?

Isaiah says that He had no form nor comeliness that we should desire Him. He was as a root out of dry ground. No one except John the Baptizer recognized Him at the Jordan.

Yet He was so attractive to those He called that they immediately and without a second thought left their livelihood to follow this itinerant preacher.

When He speaks to your heart, all else will pale in comparison. His beauty and His love outshine the sun. It is as the sun rising in the eastern sky, dimming all lesser lights in the stars and the moon.

Listen for His voice - He is calling to whosoever will. He is calling you. Not to religion or doctrine or creed, but to Himself, the bright and morning star, the light of the world. No experience compares to knowing Him and walking with Him.

Let Him be your light, your love, your all. You'll never regret it.
