Mark 1:17 “‘Come follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘And I will make you fishers of men.'” (NIV)*

Jesus was looking

for fishers of men,

Trained to cast nets

Knowing where to put-in.

………………..

He called these men

To fish for keeps,

Leave the familiar

His kingdom seek.

………………..

They could fish for fish

And stay the same,

Or fish for men

And the world, change.
