Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.
(Luke 5.10 NRSV)
When we read the Gospels, we discover that the disciples found the best seat in the house by choosing to accept the challenge of Jesus to invest their lives in others. Remember how Jesus came into the marketplace at the docks. There he found some commercial fishermen. He asked them to allow him to use one of their boats as a teaching platform.

After he finished teaching the people, he gave them an invitation: "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." He was asking them to give up their seats in their fishing boats for something better, something more lasting, to invest their lives in others. (Luke 5:1-11).

Will you accept the invitation?

Dear God, show me the way to the best seat that you have reserved for me. In Jesus name, Amen.
