Why Would He Call Me?

Daniel Im, Lead Pastor

Why would Jesus call me?

1. Because He has a spot for me

2. Because He wants a relationship with me
As he passed alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen (Mark 1:16 CSB)

3. Because His mission is urgent
“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15 CSB)

Jesus continued going around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:35-38 CSB)

“Follow me,” Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for people.” (Mark 1:17 CSB)
