“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”- John 1:14
Jesus calls those who believe in Him to follow Him – lIve a life of obedience. That tells us that not only do we live by Him and for Him, but with Him. Living in constant communion with Christ. Just the thought of Him being our Companion makes everyday exciting!
As important as His teachings are, He didn’t say follow my doctrines, but “Follow me”. That speaks of His desire for a personal relationship with us. Is that not a glorious thought, to think of the King of kings being willing to commune with lowly sinners such as us. We do more than follow a book, we follow a Person, the One who is the Word of God.
While we should obey the Bible we should do so in the light of who Jesus is and what He has done, not just because it is true. The Bible is important because it testifies to He who is the Living Word – the One to whom our life is to conform. Rather than following Him to get what we desire we follow Him to give Him what He demands, desires and deserves. He created all things and all things exist to glorify Him. That is the purpose for which we exist and if we spend our lives on anything else we are wasting it.- HDS
“Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus!
Anywhere, everywhere, I will follow on!
Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus!
Everywhere He leads me I will follow on!”
