Fishers of Men




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: Last night I was thinking about talking to you on the radio and this thought came to my mind: do you want to be a fisher of men?  If so, there's one big condition and here it goes: Jesus said, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of me."When I was a child, in our church, we used to sing a song based on that church.  "I will make you fishers of men, fishers of men, fishers of men.  I will make you fishers of men if you follow me."  And I thought as a little boy, "I want to lead people to Christ.  I want to fish for men."  And, by God's grace, I've been doing it all these years.Many people say, "I don't have the passion.  I don't seem to have the words.  I don't have the answers."  Listen.  The key is this:  You follow Jesus Christ with all your heart, spend time with Him, read His Holy Word, think about the people you love in your neighborhood, at work, at school, and then say, "Lord Jesus, I am following you.  Please use me and make me a fisher of men and women and children and everybody else.  The secret is really not a secret.  You follow Jesus Christ closely and before you know it you'll consciously or unconsciously share the faith and He will use you to lead other into eternal life.  That'll be the greatest day of your life.
