Jesus Said Let Down Your Net

Jesus said; “Let Down Your Net.”

Jesus told his disciples; 
"let down your net."
They were amazed how many
 fish they would get.

What happened?  
They couldn't explain.
So many fish. were caught.  
They were hard to contain.

Peter was astonished,
 and fell on his knees.
Asking Jesus; "Forgive me
 now...  please!"

Peter, James and John...  
Left everything behind.
Following Jesus was what
 they had in mind.

Perhaps your "net" is empty. 
 Jesus says; "Let it down."
There's a great harvest for you. 
 Waiting to be found.

Be a fisher for Jesus. 
 A fisher of men.
So that others may be saved
 from their sin.

"Come follow me."  The master
 is calling for you.
Each step you take toward him... 
 He'll take TWO!
