Do we ignore that Jesus transforms our professions?
Mark 1:16-18 16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea-- for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people." 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
When Jesus invited Simon and Andrew to follow him, he transformed their profession which was fishing - from fishing for fish to fishing for people. How does Jesus desire to transform your profession? Is there a way that Jesus can transform it from just focusing on the daily business to focusing on God's mission at the same time? Most of us separate our spiritual lives from our businesses - but is it possible that they be one in the same?
Do we ignore that Jesus transforms even our professions when we follow him?
“Jesus is Lord” is a radical claim. One in which we pledge our lives to follow him. And yet, most of us ignore the teachings of Jesus. We reimagine him so that he fits neatly into our world instead of letting him change our entire way of being. This blog was a devotional that walked through the gospel of Matthew (and a little into Mark)identifying where we are ignoring Jesus. And inviting him to change us.
