Fishers of Souls

Mark 1:
Jesus proclaimed: “This is the time of fulfillment. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”
Passing the Sea of Galilee, Jesus said to Simon and his brother Andrew as they cast their nets into the sea; “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Then they left their nets and followed him.
Wow! It is not by chance that the Lord speaks these words to us today. The time is ripe, and the Lord is calling us to witness; to be the disciples of this age. He challenges us to put on the armor of faith, go out into this world in darkness, and to shine the light of Christ upon his sheep; lost, and searching to find their way. Each of us in our own environment needs to sow the seeds of faith to those around us. We must start by living out the Gospels in our every day lives. In doing so, we shall reap a bountiful harvest for the Lord. We may not be fishermen, but, we shall, by proclaiming him as Lord and Savior, become true fishers of men.
“This is the time of fulfillment. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”
