YOU’RE CALLED TO FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE!
“Your business is life, not death. Follow me. Pursue life.” – Matthew 8:22
“Jesus said, “Come along with me.” – Matthew 9:9
“Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?“ – Mark 8:34
As Christians, we have a unique calling and purpose in this world. As disciples, our calling is to live a life of love and service, reflecting Christ in all we do. We are to be of service, a command from Jesus Himself. He did not come to be served, but to serve. Servitude means serving others without expecting anything in return. It demands sacrifice, humility, and a selfless focus on others. By following in Jesus’ footsteps, we can bring the light of God’s love where there is darkness and hope where there is despair.
Follow Jesus
Prayer: Lord, help me to be of service today. Guide and teach me to follow in Your footsteps so that others will experience Your love through me. Amen.
Challenge: It’s a privilege and blessing to live our calling! Let the New Testament be your guide, revealing the life and teachings of Jesus, and apply it to your life. This way you’ll know exactly how to follow Jesus’ example!
