'Fishers
of men' (Matthew 4:19) - Set your goals lower than this, and you will
take others with you. Together, you will discover the emptiness of life
without Christ at its centre - 'they caught nothing' (3). Note the
contrast between the self-centered life (5) and the Christ centered life
(6,8,11). Loving, serving and following Jesus - These are the most
important things in life (15-17,22). Don't look over your shoulder at
someone else - 'Lord, what about this man?' (21). Let it be personal -
Jesus says, 'Do you love Me?' (15-17). He asked Peter, 'Do you
love me more than these?' (15) - more than you love these other
disciples, more than these other disciples love Me, more than your
boats, nets and fishes? Look back and ask yourself, 'Do I love Jesus
more than I did a year ago?'.
