What Makes Life Exciting?

Mark 4:19 "And He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'"

What makes life exciting? What really grabs your attention? Do you have a goal in your life that causes you to smile when you wake up in the morning? Is making money the most important thing in your life or knowing that you have changed lives for Christ?

One evening in New York, Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple Computer entered into a discussion with John Sculley from the Pepsi Corporation. Jobs goal was to lure Sculley over to Apple. Sculley resisted and seemed to communicate that no amount of money would lure him over. Finally, Jobs said to Sculley, "Do you want to spend your life making sugared water, or do you want to help us change the world?" Shortly after this conversation, John Sculley was hired as the new leader of Apple. What is exciting? To hear Jesus say, "Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men."
