Following Jesus

There are many topics from which to choose to bring from the pulpit, none of which could be more applicable than today’s message. Anyone claiming to be a Christian but does not follow the teachings and directives of Jesus is very misled. Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:17, “God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved”. In order to “follow Jesus” one must be saved. In order to be saved, one must repent of their sin. Repenting means to turn from your ways. When one turns from their ways, they are now ready to “follow Jesus’ way”. Too many people today claim their Christianity but never change their direction or their ways. Jesus is very patient, kind and loving – He is not willing that any should perish. However, scripture is very clear – Jesus wants for us to “pick up our cross (die to self daily) and follow Him. To be a true disciple of Jesus Christ, we must follow Him – We must do the things He tells us to do. Today, Pastor Don’s message will be an eye opener for all. I exhort everyone to pay attention – Follow Jesus!
