Fishers Of Men

Video Illustration

Produced by Sourceflix

Peter is a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee who leaves everything to follow Jesus. The nature of fishing and shepherding are very different. And yet, each human soul needs both. Fishing is about catching while shepherding is about caring, providing and protecting. Jesus provided Peter with both of these gifts. Soon Peter would go fishing in Jerusalem and with the gospel he would net 3,000 souls for the kingdom of heaven. Now he had 3,000 souls to feed and care for. He did both in obedience to the One who had caught and cared for his own soul.
