(Mark 1:17)
"And Jesus said to them, 'Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.'"

Firstly, Jesus calls us to follow him. This call is not just about physically following Jesus as his disciples did in ancient times, but it's about surrendering our lives to him completely. It's about walking in his footsteps, imitating his character, and aligning our will with his. When we choose to follow Jesus, we embark on a journey of transformation and discipleship.
