Are you following Jesus? #12

When we think about following Jesus compared to what all other major religions teach there is one thing we need to learn and know. Other religions say follow certain rules, perform certain rituals, observe specific regulations, or pursue a specific path but Jesus says "follow Me".



Jesus wants a relationship with us, not rules and regulations. Other religions say go and find or search out truth and life. Jesus says:



John 14:6

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.



Matthew 11:28

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.



Do you see the MAJOR difference? Jesus is the answer to our search. He fills our every spiritual need. In himself! That is why He calls us to follow Him.



We are called to grab onto Jesus and not let go and because of what He has done for us we then want to obey and follow His Word in the bible because we know He has our best intrests in mind. It brings Him joy and also brings us joy to faithfully follow and obey!



Make sure you are following Jesus and not doing all the so called christian things without Christ. This happens all the time! It is called going through the motions with out a relationship. Search your heart, God will let you know where you stand with Him.



Being in Jesus provides the peace that is indescribable! Just knowing that you abide in His love and all you have to do is surrender your life and follow Jesus!



Thank you Jesus!
