~ The Call of James ~
Introduction ~ Posts 1 – 21 (beginning on April 16, 2022) of this series looked at aspects of the Christian calling. Specifically, we viewed the calling of God from three aspects. First there is the Universal Call to all mankind for salvation. Second there is the call that all Christians receive—the Obedience Call. Finally, there is a call which all Christians receive, but sadly few accept, the Career Call.
Beginning in post 22 we started looking at Biblical examples of God calling an individual.
Scripture ~ “Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him” (Matthew 4:21-22).
Comment ~ This call was to move them from being commercial fishermen to fishers of men on behalf of God.
