He called them and they immediately left

I was walking home earlier and my mind started to wonder, as it usually does, and i started to think about all the reasons i used to think christianity was a load of rubbish back in the day and one of the ones that stuck was this, in our Religious Studies class our teacher had taught us when we were doing comparisons of religions that the Qu'ran was written down by Muhammad as God spoke to him (or pretty soon after) and the Bible wasnt written down for ages afterwards, so surely there was the possibility that things werent written down exactly how they happened, and this left room for error and over exaggeration, well that was my conclusion at the time. Just as a side note, there was only one girl in our class (i went to an all girls school) that was a christian (think she was actually Greek Orthodox but im not totally sure) and when we would have debates id always be the voice of athetism (even though i was the quietest person in the class, it was something i believed in) and she would debate for Jesus, everyone always though she was a bit crazy for actually believing what she was arguing and im pretty sure i always won the debate. Anywho, i was wondering why id started to think of this and what i thought of it now, surely my thoughts on the subject should have changed? what would i say if someone brought that up now? Well i concluded this, the Bible is the word of God, full stop, and even if it was written down a long time after the events occured (was my teacher right in saying that? i actually dont know, if you do, let me know will you) it was still inspired by God, so it must be accurate, which lead me on to thinking this, if something That amazing happened in your lifetime, would you actually need to write in down straight away for it still to be accurate? Its one trial learning (ever taken psych 101?) One trial learning goes like this - something crazy happens and its So out of the ordinary and life changing that you remember pretty much everything about that event. When the twin towers got hit for example, now i was in like year 10 and before that i didnt even know what the twin towers were but i remember that day so vividly, i could tell you what people said, what i was doing when i heard, the smells, the colours, everything! (same thing when Princess Diana died) Anyway, point is, life changing thing happens = you remember everything. Well it kinda seems like if i remember something so vividly that really didnt affect me that much then if this crazy situation where the son of God was on earth in human form making blind people see and doing miracles left right and centre, well it kinda seems like you'd remember that pretty accurately, hey you'd probably still have one trial learning if someone told you that that had happened to them! Which lead me on to this, when Jesus went up to Simon and Andrew and said Follow me, and i will make you fishers of men, why on earth did they go??! Okay okay obviously it was a God thing, but think about it, these are uneducated guys who didnt make the cut with the whole learning the scriptures thing so they had a trade to fall back on instead and theyre out doing there fisherman thing. If you were out fishing and some random guy calls out to you "Oi, you! yeah you, with the nets, come 'ere, follow me, ill make you a fisher of men" well i dont know about you but id be kicking my boat into full gear and getting away from this mad man, you want me to be a what now? James and John were on a boat with their dad, im pretty sure my dad would have kicked up a fuss if that had happened to me and my brother, your dads not gonna let you go off with a stranger. But they immediately left the ship and their father and followed him. Why? Is the call of God that strong that when something that goes against all of your natural reactions comes along, you just have to follow Him? Its like trying to run against a really strong wind, its gonna push you in the direction its going anyway, you're just gonna look silly if you're still trying to run the other way. It just seems so crazy to me, He didnt have to convince them or anything, they didnt even stop to think about it, sit down have a drink with Him to see what He was all about, ask for a detailed plan of what He was actually asking them to get into, a job description of sorts, what faith, He called them and Immediately they left. Thats got to have been a day they remembered pretty well.
