耶稣呼召祂的门徒时，祂发出的邀请不仅仅是陪伴同行，还要他们彻底委身，完全跟随祂。这一呼召经久不衰，一直延续到今天跟随耶稣的我们身上，敦促我们走上门徒之路。
门徒训练不仅仅是去教会或学习有关耶稣的事。它是交托、顺服和成长的转化之旅。正如祂呼召祂的第一批门徒跟随祂，耶稣也邀请我们来跟随祂，这甚至可能意味着更换我们的工作。重点是要放弃那些会阻碍我们献身于祂的追求。
作为门徒，我们的目标是通过活出主的教导来追随祂。通过与耶稣的亲密关系，我们会变得像祂，并有能力对我们周围的世界产生好的影响。
门徒训练并非没有挑战，但它也提供了丰盛的生命和永恒的目标。我们会发现深入认识耶稣、经历祂的同在并成为祂国度的代言人的喜悦。在这样的环境中，我们的信心被炼净，我们的品格被塑造，我们的生命会结出持久的果实。
今天，让我们全心回应耶稣的呼召。愿我们的生命见证祂的爱、恩典和转化的大能。
主耶稣，感谢你呼召我们做你的门徒。用你的爱转化我们，让我们知道你与我们同在，从而忠心的跟随你。阿们。
马太福音 4:18-22
18耶稣在加利利海边行走，看见弟兄二人，就是那称呼彼得的西门和他兄弟安得烈，在海里撒网，他们本是打鱼的。
19耶稣对他们说：“来跟从我，我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样。”
20他们就立刻舍了网，跟从了他。
21从那里往前走，又看见弟兄二人，就是西庇太的儿子雅各和他兄弟约翰，同他们的父亲西庇太在船上补网，耶稣就招呼他们。
22他们立刻舍了船，别了父亲，跟从了耶稣。
"'Come, follow me,' Jesus said. . . . At once they left their nets and followed him." - Matthew 4:19-20
When Jesus called his disciples, he issued an invitation that went beyond mere companionship. He called for a radical commitment to follow him completely. This call echoes through time, extending to us as his followers today, urging us to embrace the path of discipleship.
Discipleship is more than attending church or learning about Jesus. It is a transformative journey of surrender, obedience, and growth. Just as he called his first disciples to follow him, Jesus invites us to do the same. This might even mean changing the work we do. The main point is to let go of pursuits that would hinder our devotion to him.
Our aim as disciples is to follow our Master by living out his teachings. Through an intimate relationship with Jesus, we are transformed into his likeness and empowered to make an impact for good in the world around us.
Discipleship isn't without challenges, but it also offers abundant life and eternal purpose. We discover the joy of knowing Jesus deeply, experiencing his presence, and becoming agents of his kingdom. In this context our faith is refined, our character is shaped, and our lives bear lasting fruit.
Today let's respond to Jesus' call with wholehearted commitment. And may our lives testify to his love, grace, and transformative power.
Lord Jesus, thank you for your call to discipleship. Transform us with your love to follow you faithfully, knowing you are with us. Amen.
