Raise the Temperature

At once, leaving the boat and their father, they followed him.
Mt.4:22

Peter and Andrew are called by Jesus while in the very business of being fishermen... steering their boat, casting their net. Their extraordinary response is to immediately cast aside their income stream, fishing, walk away from family, their father, and follow Jesus.

Peter and Andrew's instant and total conversion to followers of Jesus is both impressive and challenging. I'm forced to ask, "What is my commitment to following Jesus?" To be honest, it fluctuates. One day hot and the next, lukewarm. 

Jesus has harsh things to say about lukewarm followers (Rev.3:16). Maybe it's time to raise the temperature.
