Sea of Galilee (2 of 8)

Matthew 4.18-22
[Sea of Galilee VIDEO-5:32]
I’ve met a lot of people in my life that claim to be a ‘disciple’ of Jesus Christ. People from all walks of life say... ‘‘I’m a disciple of Jesus’’ ...people with all kinds of beliefs about God say... ‘‘I’m a disciple.’’
That word ‘disciple’ is common language in our culture and especially within the church... But the truth is: many people are claiming that title in their life today... and yet, many have no idea what it really means... or understand what’s really required to be a true disciple of Jesus.
Today as we open God’s word to [Matthew chapter 4], we are going to see Jesus, walking along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, doing what He does best... and that is... making disciples.
[Matthew 4.18-22] 18 As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea-for they were fishermen. 19 ’’Follow me,’’ he told them, ’’and I will make you fish for people.’’ 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, preparing their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.’’
Sometimes we read a passage of Scripture like this, and we naturally assume that... Jesus just appeared on the scene here and nobody knew who he was prior to this moment... but what we know is... this wasn’t the first time they had encountered Jesus.
In fact, we read in [John 1] the account of John the Baptist seeing Jesus coming toward him... and in [v. 29-30] he said, ‘‘‘‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’
