Passage: Mark 1:14-20
In this morning’s passage, Mark introduces us to the first four of Jesus’ disciples. These men will accompany Jesus for the next 3½ years. They will have heard him preach the good news throughout Galilee and Judea. They will have seen him perform miracle after miracle, confirming his divinity. Later, they will be commissioned to carry on the work that Jesus began. In that respect, their role is our role. We have a message to share ― the same message Jesus preached and repentance and faith in the gospel. We have a Master to follow ― the same rabbi these fisherman sat under and learned from and followed all the way to the cross. This was their calling and it is our calling, as well.
