When I saw the fisherman today at Pukenui who caught the fish on the picture, Matthew 4:18,19 came to my mind, where “fishermen” and “fishers of men” are mentioned. I remembered also that all followers of the Lord Jesus Christ need to fish for souls.

Fresh John Dory fish straight from the Houhora harbor.

It was not difficult to get into a conversation with the fisherman, and I soon learned that he also followed the Lord Jesus Christ and that he also had the desire to acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ before men. (Matthew 10:32)

What an encouragement.

In Matthew 4:18,19 we read, “They [Simon and Andrew] were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men.'”
