The greatest business
Tuesday, September 2, 2025
“They take up all them with the hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.” Man today can catch fish, but God can catch men. Remember that’s what the Lord Jesus said to these fishermen: “You’ve been catching fish; that’s wonderful. But I’m going to give you a job of catching men.” And I think that’s the greatest business in the world. Just a fisherman, that’s all I could claim to be. A fisherman, or a shepherd, these are very humble occupations. Not a reverend; I’m no reverend, by any means. That means “terrible” anyway. And the thing is that we’re to fish for men today. What a tremendous statement we have here.
