Achieving goals requires commitment and devotion. The disciples did not know everything required of being a follower of Christ but they stepped out in faith.

1. The disciples were called abruptly: The disciples would have known Jesus and were primed to follow when he called.
2. The disciples followed immediately: They did not hesitate when Christ called them, neither should we.
3. The disciples committed totally: By leaving their boats and nets the disciples showed complete faith in Jesus. We need to let go of the world and cling to Christ.
