Follow Jesus

Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him. Matthew 4:19-20 Believe it or not, Jesus is still calling out to us even today. He is calling a people who will truely following Him. He is calling out to those who are willing to forsake this world and all it's glitz and glamour. He is looking for disciples who will forget about prosperity and popularity to go forth to tell someone about Him.

If you look at the last part of the referenced verse, you will see that Peter and Andrew dropped their whole life to follow Jesus. They had no clue who He was, probably never even met Him before but they felt that tug on their heart so str...ong that they did not care. That is what Jesus is wanting still today. No, I am not talking about leaving your life completely behind but I am saying that He wants us to stop holding on to this world, this life and look to Him without fail. I am trying my best to do just that. I want to be led and used of Him more than big houses, fine cars or even winning the next super lottery jackpot. All that is nothing! My Jesus is everything and I am giving Him my everything, my all and all.

 

Are you ready to forsake this world and follow Jesus?  If you have not made that all important decision, I ask you to please consider it today.  Jesus came, lived, and died a horrible death on the cross so that we could be forgiven and live for eternity with Him in the presence of our Heavenly Father.  Please choose to follow Jesus!  He died just for YOU, so please choose to live for Him.
