Vision and Call to Ministry

Therefore the call for full-time Christian service is a very definite call. Jesus called Peter and Andrew to follow him and immediately they left their nets and followed him (Matt. 4:20). Later he called James and John and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him (Matt. 4:22). It seems clear from this passage that this “call” involved a clean break with their previous occupation and launched them into a brand new occupation, that of “fishers of men.”
