FISHERS OF MAN
CHRISTIANITY OASIS HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH THIS FISHERS OF MAN STUDY. THIS FISHERS OF MAN STUDY LOOKS INTO JESUS' WORDS TO HIS FOLLOWERS THAT HE WILL MAKE THEM FISHERS OF MAN. BUT MOST ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT BEING FISHERS OF MAN REALLY MEANS. LET US SEEK AND FIND THE TRUTH OF BEING FISHERS OF MAN TOGETHER, SHALL WE?


MATTHEW 4:14-22

MARK 1:14-20

JOHN 1:42-51

As you recall we just learned the lesson that a man is not without honor except in his own home country ... Most have heard the expression ... Fishers of Man before but what did Jesus mean when He said He would make his followers fishers of man?

When Jesus left His home country of Nazareth, He stayed in Capernaum. Now Israel had seen better days than what they were having at that time. Most recently, being under the rule of the Romans was awful for them and you can well imagine that the memories of when Herod had all the male babies that were two years old and under murdered, was something nobody could ever forget. People were overtaxed by Caesar the emperor of Rome, and they just didn't have much of anything to feel happy about. They all hoped the Messiah would come soon and bring consolation to Israel.

The prophet Isaiah spoke about this when he said (Isaiah 9:1-2): Nevertheless the darkness will not be as it was in her (Israel's) troubled times, when He first lightly afflicted the land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali and after that afflicted her worse by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that live in the land of deep darkness, upon them has the light shined.

Jesus was the light that Isaiah the prophet was talking about. Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, saying, The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel. People were astonished at His doctrine because His Word was given with authority and power.

As Jesus walked by the sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and Andrew, throwing a net into the sea, as they were fishers. And He said to them, Follow me and I will make you fishers of men. They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Jesus said to Simon Peter, You are Simon, the son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas, which means, A rock.

When Jesus had walked a little farther He saw James and John his brother in a ship with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them and they too, immediately left the ship and their father and followed Jesus.

The next day, Jesus went into Galilee and finding Philip, He said to him, Follow me. Philip found Nathaniel and said, We have found Him! The one that Moses spoke of in the law and that the prophets wrote about. It's Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Nathaniel said to Philip, Has anything good ever come out of Nazareth? Philip said, Come and see.

Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to Him and said, Here comes an Israelite with no dishonesty! Nathaniel asked Jesus, How do you know me? Jesus answered, Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree. Nathaniel then said, You are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel. Jesus said, Just because I said I saw you under the fig tree, you believe that? You'll see greater things than these. Truly, truly I tell you, in time you will see Heaven open and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Jesus has begun to gather His Apostles ... He will make them fishers of men.
