In Matthews gospel Chapter 4, we read this Sunday that Peter and his brother Andrew were fishermen. When Jesus called for them to follow him, they cast down their nets immediately and followed Him. Imagine, how much the voice of Jesus impacted them. Some day, Jesus will call us home also. Will we be able to leave our baggage behind and follow him? The other day, I was in the gym, and as I traveled around to the circuit weight training stations, I realized that I was traveling empty handed, no water bottle, no cell phone, just free handed. I felt a little empty. For a moment, I felt a little relieved and I realized that my mind is often cluttered as well. I imagined for a moment, free falling and what that experience would be like, or floating above the water. Is this what heaven would be like? Imagine, how wonderful this would be. Being in God’s presence for eternity. That is what we prepare for our entire lives. Are we willing to give up all and follow him, like Peter and Andrew did? Can we draw others to God in the same way? Can we draw others to God as well? In the second verse, last line of Bernadette Farrell’s hymn, “Praise to You, O Christ our Savior”, a hymn we will be singing this weekend, it says, “You are the one who leads us to our future, glory to you, Lord, Jesus Christ.” Our future is bright if we listen to the voice of Jesus calling us to leave all behind and follow Him. We will be prepared on the day of our death, whenever that may be. We need not fear!
