The First Call in Matthew and Mark

MONDAY January 14

The First Call in Matthew and Mark

In Matthew 4:18-22 and Mark 1:16-20, we are given other perspectives on this first call. In both examples, those He called dropped their nets and followed Him. What does that mean?

This is not the only time and place this principle is found in the Bible.

Look up the following texts. How do we see the same principle being manifested here, however different the circumstances?

Gen. 12:1 (see also Heb. 11:8)

1 Kings 19:19-21

Phil. 3:8

Heb. 11:24

The point cannot be repeated enough: The Lord demands the whole heart. That which we do not surrender to Him, that which we cling to, refusing to give up, becomes an idol, something we deem more important than the Lord. What is worse, those things we cling to become the hooks the devil uses to wean us away from the Lord completely. That is why we must be willing to forsake anything and everything the Lord asks us to. We cannot, as He said, "serve two masters" (Matt. 6:24).
