Good Morning!! The title of follower, still leave a bad taste in the mouth,...many of us would rather be leaders than followers,...but Jesus called only for followers. We may be preoccupied with wanting some personal benefit or influence, but Christ asks us to take up the cross daily and follow Him.
Jesus said, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."—Mark 8:34 (NRSV)
If we truly believe in Jesus, and devote ourselves to enthusiastically imitating Him and, serving His Church, we will reap the fullness of spiritual blessings. We will deepen our relationship with God, and also our relationships with our brothers and sisters, as we serve them in love.
Those who follow Christ, must become servants.
Dear Lord, help us to follow You. Empower us to serve Your church and others,...and through that service, help the whole world to know Jesus. Amen.
"The greater the faith, the smaller the fears."
