Scripture: Mark 1:16-20
Questions to answer:
- What are the key words (words that jump out to you)? So these are the key words/phrases that caught my attention: “I will make you become”; immediately (2x); they left their father. I think there’s something rich in the phrase “I will make you become.” Jesus doesn’t magically make them fishers of men. No. He makes them become fishers of men–it involves both an action and a process. I love that.
- How does your understanding of this text relate to your own call to salvation?
