Follow Me!



"Come. Follow me."

Imagine being a fisherman in a hot desert in Israel. You and your brother are catching the day's fish with your father. This is more than just sustenance for you...this is your livelihood. A fisherman raised by fishermen.

All of a sudden, this random guy walks up to the shore. You have never seen him before in your life. Yet...there is something about him...

He looks straight into your eyes, and gives a simple command...

"Come, follow Me."

Without thinking too much about it, you put your nets down and follow him. 

Sometimes it means discomfort. Not having a place to sleep, or food to eat. Eventually, come to find out, it will mean your death. 

But you follow. Because, come to find out, this guy came to save the world.

And all one has to do is follow Him,

    Seems great minds think alike--I also posted about this story tonight. I'm so glad that Jesus made salvation 'easy' for us. All we truly have to do is follow Him because He has already handled everything.

    Blessings :)
