Max Greiner Website"The “Fisher of Men”® artwork is about Christ’s personal invitation to each of us to salvation and service. It is also a call to follow Him into ministry,to become “fishers of men.”
The composition depicts the time when Jesus recruited Simon Peter and his brother, Andrew to be a part of His earthly ministry (Matthew 4: 18–20). During prayer, the Artist visualized Jesus walking by the Sea of Galilee. Seeing the brothers, Jesus reaches down and picks up one of the fishermen’s nets, spread out on the shore. Then, holding it out symbolically He calls to the men. They are knee deep in the water, casting their nets, when Jesus extends His timeless invitation to follow Him. Max has depicted the exact moment when Jesus is waiting for an answer to His question, that we all must ultimately answer."
Jesus, also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, was a Jewish preacher and religious leader. Jesus dying on the cross to save mankind from Hell in the basis of the Christian faith.
