Fishers of Men

This month in the 2's class we learned about how Jesus called his disciples to be fisher's of men.

Here are the talking points we use when talking to two year olds about becoming disciples of Christ:

 
What does it mean to be a "fisher of men?" Instead of catching fish we catch men. We tell people about Jesus so that they too want to follow him too.

What do you need to catch fish? You need a net or a fishing pole. If you use a fishing pole, you have to have bait.

What kind of bait can you use to catch fish? night crawlers, lures, bugs, caterpillars, etc.

But what kind of bait do you use to catch men? God's words.

As a family, you can talk about the following ideas that we touched on in class:

Who can be “caught”: friends, family, neighbors, grown-ups or kids

How can you “fish”: sharing God’s word, talking about God’s love, praying for and with people

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him. Matthew 4:18-20
