“Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And He *said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:18-22‬ ‭NASB #followMe #immediately #beingadisciple https://www.instagram.com/p/CKekAbTF_AB/?igshid=1a6qjsxv0wbt1

Jesus doesn’t tell his disciples to be passive when people are mistreating them; they don’t have to take crap. In fact he tells that if people don’t treat them well “leave there and shake the dust off their feet in protest” (Mk 6:11). Just get up and go.
