得人如得鱼、跟从与舍弃

Mark 1:16-20
【可1:16】耶稣顺着加利利的海边走，看见西门和西门的兄弟安得烈在海里撒网，他们本是打鱼的。
【可1:17】耶稣对他们说：“来跟从我！我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样。”
【可1:18】他们就立刻舍了网，跟从了他。
【可1:19】耶稣稍往前走，又见西庇太的儿子雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰在船上补网。
【可1:20】耶稣随即招呼他们，他们就把父亲西庇太和雇工人留在船上，跟从耶稣去了。

得人与打鱼 Fishermen & Fishers of men
1. 打鱼的工作包括撒网 (casting nets) 和补网 (mending nets) 
2. 得人的工作也是如此，传福音 preaching（撒网）、牧导 shepherding（补网）

跟从与舍弃 Following & Forsaking
1. 两对兄弟都选择跟从耶稣
2. 一对舍弃了职业，一对舍弃了家人

这就是主工的性质，跟从的代价！

Coming of the Lord

The Lord will come even before all places are evangelised. Really?  1. The Lord said so (Mat 10:23) 2. The fullest of the Gentile (Rom 11:25) is the number of Gentiles to be saved which no one knows and it should be reaching its quota soon 3. God has given other witnesses like His creation (Rom 1:20) and man's conscience (Rom 2:15)
