In the beginning of the first ch. of Mar, we find Jesus calling the people he wants as his disciples.He called first Simon and Andrew and then James and John.Peter and Andrew were casting their nets.James and John were mending the nets with their friends and other laborers.Jesus told them to follow him and all of a sudden they left everything to follow him.They did not know him before nor were they people without any work.They were called from the midst of their work.They just followed him , leaving everything behind.No thought of the future of their lives.They found that Jesus had everything that they looked forward to having in their lives.
The first thing that Jesus did was healing Peter'smother in law and later driving out the evil spirit from the man who wanted to be cured of the possession.
What we see in Jeus is his extreme compassion.He never turns away people from him.Satisfies their material and spiritual needs.Jesus through his actions sends the message to the disciples that following him involves helping people also.To be with With God involves making ourselves totally available for the good of the people living with us or asking for our help.
Following involves transformation in our lives.We become available to others.
