Jesus made a very interesting appeal to the first disciples. He challenged them to "come follow Me and I will make you..." Did He say "wise", or maybe "disciplined", or how about "great fathers to your children" or even "great pastors?" No, He said "I will make you fishers of men." And He did just that. These 12 men started what soon became the Church. They did not do this because of their knowledge or talent or skills, but because of what they had seen. They had seen Christ - the Son of God and had experienced for themselves His love for them. And they couldn't help but tell others about it.
You and I were fish once.
Someone cared enough about us that they couldn't let us keep going through life without showing us Christ Who had changed their lives - knowing that He would do the same for us.
So we were caught and we too are released to tell others about this amazing thing that has happened in our lives.
