Heavenly Father,
We come before you with grateful hearts,

illuminating the path of discipleship and growth.

Introduction to Scripture
Today, we turn our attention to the Gospel of Mark, chapter 1, verses 14 to 20. In this passage, we witness a pivotal moment in the ministry of Jesus. It’s a time when Jesus begins to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God and calls his first disciples.
NIV Bible Verse: Mark 1:14-20 Fishers of Men
Mark 1:14-20 (NIV)
14 After John (The Baptist) was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.
15 ‘The time has come,’ he said. ‘The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!’
16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
17 ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’
18 At once they left their nets and followed him.
19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets.
20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
In these verses, we see Jesus’ call to discipleship. He invites Simon, Andrew, James, and John to leave behind their nets and follow him. It’s a powerful reminder that discipleship often requires us to leave behind our old ways and follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
