And they left their nets...

Let go

"And they straightway left their nets, and followed him." Matthew 4:20

One great lesson life has taught me is that "nothing is permanent".
Fashions come and go, presidents come and go, sport stars come and go and the list continues. The bible clearly states that " the world passes away" and that "we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we will take nothing out".Therefore we ought not to have "heart attachment" to anything in this world. In light of this truth- when it comes to following Jesus we must follow Him and leave behind the things of this world!The disciples left their nets when Jesus called them to follow Him, the woman at the well left her water pot when she encountered Jesus, the blind man left his garments when he was called by Jesus. Whats the point? The point is that as Christian youths Christ must be number 1 in our lives and every other thing 2nd place. Hear the words of Jesus "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36





Please share your thoughts on the things we leave behind in order to follow Jesus.
