Message: The Call to go Fishing

It is interesting that the first four disciples called by Jesus are fishermen…We don’t know the occupations of all the twelve disciples.

Matthew was a tax collector.
Judas Iscariot was a treasurer.
Peter, Andrew, James, and John were fishermen.
Philip, Nathaniel, James 2, Judas (Thaddeus), Simon the Zealot, and Thomas were probably tradesman of some sort…with the possibility that some of them were fisherman as well.

What we do know about them is that they were not considered to be the “elite” when it came to Following a Rabbi and learning the Law of God.
