Why on earth do you think that, for his disciples, Jesus Christ chose a group of fishermen?
What particular qualities could they have possessed to equip them to share his ministry?
They seem to have been a close-knit group whom Jesus Christ had possibly known for some time.
But clearly, the moment when they decided to leave everything and follow him was deeply etched in their memory.
When Jesus said he would make them ''fishers of men,'' what expertise and experience could they bring to such a task?
Only Phillip was called by Jesus directly. The others came at the bidding of their friends and families.
Yet, when they found Jesus for themselves, it was as if he had been searching for them all along.
Nathaniel eventually found Jesus Christ, only to discover that Christ found him long before he recognized who it was pulling at his heartstrings.
