Jesus Himself saying in Luke 9:62, that<br />

we must make a clean decisive break in<br />

order to follow Him: “No man, having<br />

put his hand to the plough, and looking<br />

back, is fit for the kingdom of God,”<br />

and in Philippians 3:13–14, the Apostle<br />

Paul said,<br />

this one thing I do, forgetting those<br />

things which are behind, and<br />

reaching forth unto those things<br />

which are before, I press toward<br />

the mark for the prize of the high<br />

calling of God in Christ Jesus.<br />

There are so many portions of Scripture that make it clear to us that<br />

when we follow Christ we have to serve Him wholeheartedly, and<br />

single-mindedly. And like Peter, James and John, you may be one that<br />

Christ is calling now to serve Him fully, saying, “From henceforth thou<br />

shalt catch men. Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Will<br />

you respond by doing what the disciples did? Will you also forsake all<br />

and follow Christ?<br />
