Matthew 4:19 Footnote

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

NIV, Life Application Study Bible Footnote:

Jesus told Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing business and become "fishers of men," to help others find God.  Jesus was calling them away from their productive trades to be productive spiritually.  We all need to fish for souls.  If we practice Christ's teachings and share the gospel with others, we will be able to draw those around us to Christ like a fisherman who pulls fish into his boat with nets.

This was an appropriate verse for us as we were at the lake all week!  My little guy got to try out his new fishing pole for the first time.
