Luke 5:11 (NKJV) 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This took place right after Jesus had just filled their boats with fish. They had tried all night but had caught\u00a0nothing.\u00a0Then Jesus told Simon to let\u00a0down his net for a catch.<\/p>\n

As Simon listened and obeyed, Jesus\u00a0not\u00a0only filled\u00a0one boat,\u00a0but\u00a0Simon\u00a0had\u00a0to call over\u00a0his partners with their boat too.<\/p>\n

They filled two boats full of fish\u00a0so that they began to sink.\u00a0WOW! I’d say for\u00a0those fishermen,\u00a0that’s a good day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After seeing what Jesus did, they were ready to follow Him, giving up everything. Why? Because Jesus had personally touched their hearts and opened their eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You see, fishing was their livelihood. It’s what put food on their table. It was how they earned their living. It was their stability.<\/p>\n

But,\u00a0that\u00a0was not what changed them. They knew\u00a0there\u00a0was\u00a0more about\u00a0Him <\/em>that they wanted than the material\u00a0stuff. That was awesome to experience, I’m sure. But it didn’t hold them back. They left it all behind to\u00a0follow\u00a0Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Are we still looking for stuff from Jesus, or have we reached that point where He is more than that to us? He is about more than filling our boats, our bank accounts, buying us a home, getting us success and fame, putting us in a fancy car, a jet, large boat or a big church with fancy seating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There is so much more to Jesus than the blessings of riches. He is everything! The disciples knew it and made the right choice to forsake it all and follow Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Through\u00a0Him\u00a0is our way to\u00a0eternal\u00a0life in\u00a0Heaven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His blood\u00a0covered our sins, and through Him we\u00a0have been\u00a0made\u00a0righteous.<\/p>\n

Romans 5:19 (NKJV) 19 For as by one man\u2019s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man\u2019s obedience many will be made righteous.<\/p>\n

Are we ready to forsake it all and move forward with Him?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
