Luke 5:11

When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

These were expert fishermen. It was all they knew to make a living. It was their identity. After catching nothing all night, Jesus gave them some advice and they ended up catching two boatloads of fish. And with that…these guys left everything and followed Jesus. It probably was not so instantaneous. But the truth is…they eventually walked away from one way of life to follow a new way. They really had no idea what they were getting themselves into…but I’m sure they had never met someone like Jesus before. Not everyone is called to literally leave everything to follow Jesus…but we certainly are all called to make following Jesus our first priority. What are the things in your life that are taking a higher priority than following the path of Christ? Jesus taught us to detach from all those things…not to renounce them…but simply not cling to them. The path of Christ is the path of love, mercy, forgiveness, compassion…and justice. This is the path to finding God…and your true self.
