Fishers of men

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed him. (Mat 4:17-20; ESV)
Notice He didn't say something like, "Try to figure out how to be fishers of men and you may follow me."

He said, 1) "Follow me" and 2) "I will make you fishers of men."
.
Don't try to figure this thing out on your own and do it your way. You'll mess it up. Do it My way. Throw your nets on the other side of the boat (as in John 21:6) and I'll do it.
