In Matthew ch. 4 we see true followers of Christ.
Mtthw 4:19-20 ""Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him."
Mtthw 4:21-22 "Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him."
How many of us can say we do or would follow Christ this obediently? That we would give up everything including our family and our jobs to follow Him? We know that the fishermen's bosses probably weren't very happy they left and the others' father was probably furious that they would disobey him and leave to follow this stranger.

What would we do?
What would I do?
Why is it so hard for us to give up everything and take up the Cross to follow Christ?
