A Call to Discipleship (Matthew 4:18-22)
In the midst of this present darkness, Jesus Christ came as the “Light of the world” to reveal truth to a sin entranced, sin darkened, sin enslaved humanity. His mission was to reveal God and rescue sinners from His own wrath. He came with a message of hope, a message of judgement, and a message of repentance. And it is a message that He would entrust to His people. A people He would call out for Himself. A people who would follow Him and be His heralds; to be His lights in the world. But it is being light in a dark world, that means it is not an easy call, though it is an extraordinary one. It is a call that comes with a price, but following the example of One who has gone before and paid that price. It is a call count the things eternal more precious the passing treasures of this world. That is to say ... The call to discipleship is a call to forsake all to follow Christ. In our passage this morning, Matthew 4:18-22, I want you to notice: 3 Aspects of the Call to Discipleship. (1) Call to Common People (2) Call to an Extraordinary Task (3) Call that comes with a cost.

King of the Wild Frontier
A number of celebrities and lesser knowns threatened (promised?) to leave the United States if George W. Bush was reelected president in 2004. But before Bush, there was Martin Van Buren, and before today’s political malcontents, there was Davy Crockett (1786–1836), “king of the wild frontier†as the popular 1955 politically incorrect “Ballad of Davy Crockett†described him. In a letter written to Charles Shultz dated December 25, 1834, Crockett complains about Andrew Jackson’s influence over American voters. He describes them as “Volunteer Slaves†and declares his plan to leave the United States and move to Texas if Martin Van Buren, Jackson’s vice-president, is elected to office.

A New Kind of Humanity
We feel a lot of tension in our world. People feel it personally in their pursuit of happiness and purpose and we’ve experienced it between the races as long as history has kept record. Jesus came not only to give purpose to the individual and erase the lines dividing the races but to create a new kind of humanity.
