Fish Bait
" What is our fish bait? A pastor was giving a children's sermon one Sunday and he was talking about fishing. He had a fishing pole and had already talked about the different types of bait that would attract fish. He then quoted the verse of scripture that I just quoted about fishing for men and looking for an answer from the children, he said, "Now if I am going to fish for men, what kind of bait do you think I should use?" Before he could answer it a little four year old boy shouted out, "Doughnuts!"
" As we do think about the type of bait we have to use to catch people, I want to remind you that fishing is simple. All you have to do is go to a lake or pond, bait a hook, throw your line into the water, and you are fishing. The reason why Jesus talked about fishing for people is because fishing for people is just as simple as fishing for fish. The problem is that we have made it complicated.
"The bait itself is simple, because as you are going to see today, the bait is what we call the "Gospel" and the Gospel is simple. It is so simple, that no matter what your race is, or your nationality, where you were born, or where you are from, everybody becomes a Christian the same way. Everybody gets into heaven the same simple way.
"The bait that I am going to share with you today answers two key questions that make it easy to fish, makes it simple to catch fish and makes it both easy and simple for fish to become followers of Christ.
(1) What does a person need to know to become a Christian?
(2) What does a person need to do to become a Christian?
The answer is the same for everybody. It is as simple as a four letter word - S-U-R-E "
