One carpenter, many fishers of men
Mat 4:18-22 shows us that Jesus the carpenter did not call for more carpenters, but for fishers of men. As Chairman of the Trustee Board, Brother Stallings at Greater Centennial A.M.E. Zion Church used to say we need to remember to “stay in our lane”. Jesus does not need our help fixing, only catching. We are called only to catch, not to repair. Truth be told we cannot not repair ourselves. Why then would we try to fix others ourselves or determine who can be fixed? Offer Christ, pray and watch the Lord work a miracle.
