06/19/13 DDD The Character Of Jesus Part 24--Availability

This is part 24 in The Character of Jesus series and today we look at Availability.  We first go to Mark 1:16-20.

16 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. 17 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” 18 And they left their nets at once and followed him.

19 A little farther up the shore Jesus saw Zebedee’s sons, James and John, in a boat repairing their nets. 20 He called them at once, and they also followed him, leaving their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired men. David speaks to us today about having the same characteristic of availability that Jesus has.  We must be willing to be available to God..immediately and without question...just as the disciples were. Other scripture references:  Acts 16:10; Matthew 6:33
