Jesus knows no barriers of age, culture, wealth or religious status. He is in charge and his timing is perfect.
We can come to him anywhere, at any time, with our needs for ourselves or for others.
Our requests can be public or asked quietly and privately.
When we seem to be “at the end of of the rope” Jesus says, “Don’t be afraid, only believe”. Jesus gives hope to all.
The fishermen that Jesus called were everyday peasants.

Following Jesus is not a one-off decision but a change of life.
It may stretch our ability in all directions and into unknown places.

However, Jesus is not the ‘big show person’ of a movie, but the servant with a humble heart, the only hope for this world.
