Jesus called his disciples, Andrew and Peter, to leave their profession of fishermen and follow him with the promise that he would make them fishers of men. God’s call to service always comes with a promise. The promise is that God will make the receiver of the call capable to perform the task ahead.
Peter and Andrew were not the most likely candidates for the task Jesus had for them except for this one outstanding qualification: When Jesus called they responded immediately and answered his bidding.
God does not choose the qualified. He delights in making them qualified. God calls the willing.
Mark 1:16-18
16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
