When you read the Word of God concerning Jesus ministry while He was one earth. When He came in contact with people, He would give them an unbelievable invitation. "Come Follow Me." Do we really understand what Jesus is asking of people when He gives them this invitation?
I think in our society today, there are many of us who change the words of Jesus around. Instead of us "Following Him", we change it to "Jesus come and follow Me." That is a big difference.
When we follow Jesus - He is the leader, and we do what He asks us to do. We lay down our rights to follow Him.
When Jesus follows us - We want Him to go with us, and bless us, and protect us, but we want to be the one in the front, charge. How many remember the saying - God is my co-pilot. That is the same idea - God is not our co-pilot. He is the Pilot. We have a wrong view concerning our relationship with Christ.
Our relationship with Christ is not about Him serving me, but that I am serving Him! That I am serving His purpose and not Him serving my purpose. What a big difference! We must repent of spiritual selfishness, where we think that our relationship with Him is all about us.
Today, let's make a fresh start to follow Jesus!
Connecting with you,
Pastor Ron
