Twenty times in the New Testament, Jesus Christ issued a compelling and challenging invitation: “Follow Me.” Whether Jesus was speaking to large crowds or small groups, He made sure everyone was clear on what it meant to follow Him. Jesus is not interested in mere fans. He doesn't want enthusiastic admirers. He wants completely committed followers. Followers who understand that…
There is no forgiveness without repentance.
There is no salvation without surrender.
There is no life without death.
There is no believing without following.
fan: an enthusiastic admirer.
Are there moments in your life where you feel like you are just blending in?
Are you just part of the audience?
Are there times when you wish you could really engage in your life?
Maybe you want to really take a stand for something.
Maybe what you really need is to be a follower and not a fan.
Maybe it’s time to do something.
Show the world that you are a follower and not a fan. In the Gospels Jesus never seemed too interested in fans. He was looking for followers. Not just any follower though…
completely. committed. follower.
