Table Talk: Fishers of Men

Fishers of Men

Today in Sunday School, your children heard the story of Jesus fishing for men. Based on the Gospel of Luke (Luke 5:1-11) Jesus chose his first disciples and taught them to fish for men.

Jesus was walking beside the lake of Gennersaret when he saw the boat of Simon and asked him to put it out just a little ways from shore. Then he sat down in the boat and talked to  the crowd. They were fishermen, Jesus told them to follow him and he would make them fishers of men. What Jesus meant was to have his disciples find more followers of Jesus who would love and serve others just as Jesus did.

We can become fishers of men too – by telling others about Jesus and spreading his love to others. We need to be willing to follow him and encourage others to do the same.
