Matthew 4:20
The bible reads that the apostles left their nets behind to
follow Jesus. Those nets were their means of making a living – that was their
lifeline so to speak. They were willing to lay their nets down, their lifelines
down, and let Jesus instead become their lifeline. They trusted Him enough to
say, here – I lay this means of living down – I don’t know how I will make
money or continue to get food, but I trust you enough and I want to follow you
so much that I lay it down and I want you to be my lifeline instead of these
nets.
Mark 6:7
The Bible tells us about how when Jesus called the Twelve,
he instructed them to bring nothing for the journey but a walking stick – no
food, sack, money, etc.. If you think about what you pack just for a two day
trip – and they were leaving for an unknown period of time, possibly never to
return, that is what is called MAJOR TRUST. They had to rely on Jesus that He
would provide for their needs, to fill their empty stomachs, provide for any
monetary needs and so on.
