In Matthew and Mark's Gospels
The Call
The Response
- 'Immediately', 'At once.'
In John's Gospel
‘The Lamb of God'
Invitation
- 'Come, and you will see'
- 'Follow me.'
Acceptance
- 'They went and saw...and spent the day with him.'
Sharing
- 'we have found the Messiah...'
- 'And he brought him to Jesus...'
- 'We have found the one...'
- 'Come and see...'
In Luke's Gospel
Simon had 'been there, responded to
the call, tried it on and returned home.'
Also James and John
Attained
a level of acceptable normality.
The challenge
- 'Put
out into deep water...'
- Tired,
bored, cynical, complacent, hurt, angry...?
- 'Put
out into deep water...'
- 'Don't
be afraid'
