Peter, Andrews, James, and John followed Jesus IMMEDIATELY. They did not discuss it with each other first. They did not go home and ask their wives if it sounded like a good idea. They did not ask Jesus about wages, health benefits, or vacation days. They did not ask what would happen to them. Nothing.
They dropped their nets and walked away from their jobs, their paychecks, their families, their homes, and their whole lives to follow Jesus. And they did it before He started His miracles and had so many followers and became popular.
They followed Jesus before following Jesus was cool!
They followed Jesus before following Jesus was cool!
We now know the benefits of following Jesus. We also know the risks. But we know that the blessings far outweigh the risks. Why is it so hard for us to follow Jesus now?
