“And He [Jesus] saith unto them, Follow Me…”~Matt. 4:19
“Be ye followers of me (Paul), even as I also am of Christ.”~1 Cor. 1:11
“[Jesus] leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps…”~1 Pet. 2:21
“These are they which follow theLamb [Jesus]whithersoeverhe goeth.”~ Rev. 14:4
Jesus gave His followers a threefold prerequisite to following Him in Mark 8:34; (1) You must will to do it. (2) There has to be a denial of self. (3) And a taking up of your cross. That is: willing to be second to Him; saying No! to the Adamic nature; and a mind-set to suffer for Him.
After reading the above, some I am sure, will follow the example of those superficial followers in John chapter six. “This is an hard saying…From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” The path Jesus trod was sometimes rigid, but always right!
“I have not only been known as His follower in this life; but plan to follow Him past the Eastern Gate, into Heaven itself, and eternity! To be eternally known as, “A Follower of The Lamb”~ rds
