After John had been arrested,
Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of God:
“This is the time of fulfillment.
The Kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”
As he passed by the Sea of Galilee,
he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea;
they were fishermen.
Jesus said to them,
“Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Then they left their nets and followed him.
He walked along a little farther
and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John.
They too were in a boat mending their nets.
Then he called them.
So they left their father Zebedee in the boat
along with the hired men and followed him.
Ang Pagtawag sa mga Unang Alagad
Marcos 1:14-20
14Pagkatapos maipabilango ni Herodes si Juan, pumunta sa Galilea si Jesus at nangaral ng ebanghelyo ng paghahari ng Diyos. 15Sinasabi niya: Naganap na ang takdang panahon at malapit na ang paghahari ng Diyos. Magsisi kayo at sampalatayanan ninyo ang ebanghelyo.16Habang naglalakad si Jesus sa tabi ng lawa ng Galilea, nakita niya si Simon at ang kapatid nitong si Andres. Sila ay naghahagis ng lambat sa lawa sapagkat sila ay mga mangingisda. 17Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Sumunod kayo sa akin at gagawin ko kayong mga mamamalakaya ng tao. 18Kaagad na iniwan nila ang kanilang mga lambat at sumunod sa kaniya.
19Nang sila ay malayo-layo na, nakita niya si Santiago na anak ni Zebedeo at ang kapatid nitong si Juan. Sila ay nasa kanilang bangka at naghahayuma ng kanilang mga lambat. 20Agad din silang tinawag ni Jesus. Iniwan nila sa bangka ang kanilang amang si Zebedeo kasama ang mga upahang katulong, at sumunod kay Jesus.

What am I called to do?
That's between you and God. I would earnestly encourage you to find out, by asking Him. Just one point - be prepared for the possibility that you may find out that you're already doing it.
1. We are called to be what we already are: musicians, teachers, parents, friends, mechanics, medics, authors, scientists, artists etc etc etc:
2. Being a disciple of Jesus is far more about following and imitating the person of Christ than memorizing His teachings.
3. Our christian profession and character should merge into one another.
All are called. You may, of course, have been called and responded to it and be where you're supposed to be, doing what you're supposed to do, living out your profession as a Christian. Whilst many of us are still searching, some have found. May we all both come to that point and know it.
Finally, All are called yet not all respond. Which side of the fence are you going to land on? Are you going to be you, in God's service, or are you going to be you, in your own service. To put it bluntly: are you going to profess Christ crucified and be a professional christian, or not?
