Matthew 4:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 4:20
The phrase 'they straightway left their nets' emphasizes the immediate, unconditional obedience that characterizes genuine discipleship. Their willingness to abandon livelihood and security demonstrates that Christ's call supersedes all earthly attachments and responsibilities. This immediate response was enabled by divine grace effectually calling them—illustrating irresistible grace in Reformed theology. True disciples count the cost and still find Christ infinitely more valuable.
