Following Jesus

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Saviour of the whole world. Jesus is the resurrection and the life.So, following Him(Jesus) is going the path way of life. "And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men" Mark 1:17 Following Jesus is taking after Him. Doing what pleases Him and God the Father.It is living like Jesus,acting, talking, reacting and reasoning like Him all the way.You are to hate what Jesus hate, that is sin, evil and wickedness though He love the sinner. Following Jesus is christian discipleship. It is learning from Him. "Take my joke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls" Matthew 11:29. As true disciples, there's a lot to learn of Jesus. He is the only perfect teacher.He teaches on things pertaining to this present world and that to come. Being Omniscient, the secrets of heaven and earth is known to Him. Following Jesus is gain. Your gain transcends this physical world and translate to eternity(the never ending time). When it has to do with Jesus, earthly loss is equal to heavenly gain.Whatever you loss for Christ's sake and the kingdom is counted for your credit in heaven.You lose sinful pleasures,worldly pleasures, the pride of life and the lust of the flesh. You gain righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost and heaven. Matthew 10:39. Jesus is sufficient for you, follow Him!
