Just saying...

People have said that Peter sacrificed a lot to follow Jesus; I say he would have sacrificed a lot not to have followed Jesus...

Picture this: A poor fisherman toiling all day and all night and I daresay most of his life, catching, not a thing, meeting a man who at his command, caused him to haul in a boat sinking, net breaking catch of fish, (enough not only to feed his family but lay up provision for the future AND pay off all his debt) who also said "This is nothing; not only will you catch fish, but you will catch men"... He now said to have made a sacrifice to follow Jesus?

It's like saying you met Jesus today, you who had been dabbling in the stock market with nothing but losses, and he says to you invest in so and so stock, you do and the next day that particular stock went up to the point that you made millions and millions of dollars... Would not this constitute a similar scenario? And would it be a sacrifice to follow Jesus in such a situation? No, I think not... Nooooo it would be a privilege, And an amazing opportunity not to be passed up, right?

Picture it... ... and follow Jesus... Your life will be transformed beyond all that you have, and could ever imagine!
