Mark 1:16-20 "As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 'Come, follow me,' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.' At once they left their nets and followed him. When he had gone a little further, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him."



Notice that they went with Jesus "At once." They did not ask why, who, where, when, this or that. That is an example we should all follow - Jesus and Father will never lead us wrong so there is no need to question their motives. We should have complete faith.

It's the same when Adam was sacrificing animals and the Angel asked him why he offering sacrifices and he said he did not know, he was doing it because he was commanded to do it. He did not ask Father or Jesus "why" or "for what purpose." He had full faith and followed the commandments. And he was blessed for his obedience when the Holy Ghost fell upon Adam.
