Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Who was the first fisherman of men? Was it Simon? Was it Andrew? Mark, in his usual pithy way, makes it sound like Jesus called them together, at the same time. The answer I want to tell you is that the first fisher of a man wasn't even a man! That the first fisher of a man was the great fish that fished Jonah out of the sea and swallowed him, after Johnah refused to go to Nineveh and preach the Word God told him to preach.
