My Weekend In Kribi

Fishermen gather to evaluate the day`s catch...see the swimmer?

So from my hotel room balcony in Kribi, I saw this group of fishermen pulling out the net which they had left over night. Mehhnnnn, with all the strength they put into it I was like yaayyyyy, it`s going to be a huuuge catch and I can`t wait to get first hand pictures of it. So I rushed out to take a pic and that right there was the catch of the day. Some very small fishes. But that`s life right? Everyday nobi Christmas.lol. This picture brought to mind the story in Mathew 4:18-22. I`ll paraphrase...more after the cut.

And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. [It was an invitation to follow, that they might be instructed by hearing his teaching and beholding his work. Jesus called them from a lower to a similar but higher labor. He calls all honest tradesmen in this manner. He invites carpenters to build his temple, servants to serve the great King, physicians to heal immortal souls, merchants to invest in pearls of great price, etc. The fisherman found many points of resemblance between the old and new calling, such as, 1, daily hardships and dangers; 2, earnest desires for the objects sought; 3, skill and wisdom in the use of means, etc. Disciples are fishers, human souls are fish, the world is the sea, the gospel is the net, and eternal life is the shore whither the catch is drawn.] I`m at the shores,waiting for the net...
