Today we’re hitting Matthew 4:18–22 — where Jesus builds His squad by walking up to fishermen and dropping the cleanest two-word command in history: “Follow Me.”
So Jesus is walking along the Sea of Galilee, just vibing, and He spots two brothers — Simon (aka Peter) and Andrew. They’re mid-cast, throwing nets, doing normal blue-collar fishing grind. Jesus rolls up and goes, “Follow Me, and I’ll make you fishers of men.” No long pitch. No resume check. Just divine authority with a side of cosmic purpose.
And they don’t hesitate. They drop their nets. Like, immediately. No “Hey, let me finish this catch” or “Can we talk about benefits?” — just drop, follow, go.
Jesus keeps walking and finds another pair of brothers — James and John. They’re literally in the boat with their dad, fixing nets, running the family biz. Jesus calls them, and they bounce instantly. Leave the nets. Leave the boat. Leave Dad. Gone.
Here's the tea: When Jesus calls, He’s not inviting you to sprinkle Him into your schedule — He’s calling for everything. These guys didn’t get the full plan. No itinerary. No “what’s next.” Just the King saying, “Follow Me.” And they knew: that was enough. Kingdom purpose > earthly plans. When Jesus walks into your ordinary, He turns nets into missions and fishermen into disciples. Don’t wait for ideal conditions — when the call drops, drop everything.
And that was Matthew 4:18–22.
