Followed Him

"And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan" (‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭25‬ KJV). They followed Christ, leaving their homes, their jobs, and their comfort zones. They got up, dropped their nets, and followed Jesus Christ. Jesus came to this world to save the sinner from the world, and in doing so disciples came forth, those who lay down their whole life to see Christ. The Western church might be filled with believers, but there are very few disciples. What was once a country that stormed the world with the message of Jesus Christ crucified, is now being evangelized by the world. Christ called us all to follow Him in this desperate hour. It is a call of a disciple's life, as students in the school of Christ. The Lord is not looking for the next big-name preacher or evangelist as much as He's looking for disciples who are willing to going into the inner cities and show the lost sinner His love, His mercy, His forgiveness, and His kindness. The disciples did not hesitate when the Messiah called them to follow Him. However, today we look around and we see that there are many lost on the streets and in need. Christ may have spoken to your heart many times to go out and evangelize the streets and the neighborhoods, and it's time to heed to the voice of our Savior. God bless you. Amen
