Fishers of Men and Their Mysterious Sage

Jesus called fishermen. Why?

In the first century, Jews were not fond of any open space of water, seeing it as the abyss, the place where spirits dwell. That’s why the disciples thought Jesus was a ghost when he came walking on the water (see Matthew 14:26), and why Jesus sent demons into pigs that immediately went into the water and drowned (see Matthew 8:28-32).

There were not too many fishermen at this time due to the fact that the water was not considered a safe place to work. Read the rest by clicking www.flocksdiner.com.
