DEVOTION: Mark 1:14-20 English Standard Version (ESV)
14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;[a] repent and believe in the gospel."
16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men."[b] 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
Some of you may remember an old commercial on TV that ended with "when EF Hutton talks, people listen". E.F. Hutton was a Wall street heavyweight 40 years ago. I'm not even sure they're around anymore. Probably not. Yet, back in those days they were the firm you would talk to about investing and money management. They had the corner on the goods. They were "it". If they would tell you to invest in a certain stock, you better do it.
Jesus is way better than E.F. Hutton, one, because he's got the real truth. E.F. Hutton isn't around anymore. Jesus is. If you want the real truth about certainty in life and peace in it, don't worry about who's got your money, worry about who's got your soul.
Jesus says "Repent and believe the good news". Do you? Well, DO YOU? Trust in Jesus, and when He talks LISTEN TO HIM!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving me ears to listen to your Word. Help me to listen when you call me and do what you say. Amen.
