"Follow Me"
Matthew 4:19
Someone once said,
"Christianity is obedience." And it is. Our Lord's command to all men
is "follow me". We will either obey his command, or we will perish.
Christianity begins with obedience to the gospel of Christ (Isa. 45:22; Matt. 11:28-29). And it is, from the beginning, a
life of obedience to the will of Christ. God's elect are those who follow the
Lamb. As our Lord makes his will known to us day by day, by the influence of
his Spirit, the instruction of his Word, and the direction of his providence,
we must obey him. Our understanding of his purposes, of his designs, of his
reasons can wait. Our obedience to his revealed will cannot wait."Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it."
