Mat 4:21 | MHM | STEP | v. 21 : Jesus called them with the words, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19 ). This means that just as they caught fish, now they would help bring people to God. Jesus often used simple examples from everyday life to explain spiritual things. Ministers are like fishers of men, not to harm but to save people by bringing them to Jesus (Hebrews 13:17; 2 Corinthians 12:14,16 ). Only Jesus can give people the ability and wisdom to do this work.
