As you recall we just learned the lesson that a man is not without honor except in his own home country in our Tell me the story of Jesus voyage ... Now, we will delve into the how to become Fishers of Men in the Bible journey seeking the mysteries and path of the Fishers of Man Bible procedure. Some of the Apostles of Jesus were actually fishermen so what did Jesus mean? Most have heard the Fishers of Men in the Bible reference before but what did Jesus mean when He said He would make his followers fishers of man? Let's go find out together.

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:

Jesus was the Light that the prophet Isaiah 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.

Here comes the best of the Fishers of Men in the Bible story ... 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.

(So, Jesus was the first of the Fishers of Man) 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 to begin His Ministry to save all of the souls that He can ... Jesus will make them excellent fishers of men who will continue to travel with Him and later they will have to go at it alone as the bring in the sheep that belong to God.
