Our Only Simple Duty Is To Obey And Follow CHRIST.

Following Jesus!
(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")

"If anyone would come after ME, 
he must deny himself and take up 
his cross and follow ME!" Matthew 16:24

"After this, JESUS went out and 
saw a tax collector by the name 
of Levi sitting at his tax booth. 
'Follow ME,' JESUS said to him; 
and Levi got up, left everything 
and followed HIM." Luke 5:27-28

"We have left everything to follow 
YOU!" Mark 10:28

To follow CHRIST is to go where 
HE leads, without questioning or 
demurring. It may be to a life of trial, 
suffering, or sacrifice--
but no matter; we have nothing 
whatever to do with the kind of 
life to which our LORD calls us. 
Our only simple duty is to obey 
and follow.

We know that JESUS will lead us 
only in right paths, and that the way 
HE takes slopes upward and ends 
in eternal glory!

Each new day on which we are about 
to enter is unopened, and we know 
not what shall befall us; but if we 
follow CHRIST, we need have no fear. 

So let us leave the old day with 
gratitude to GOD for its mercies, 
with penitence for its failures and sins--
and let us enter the new day with 
earnest resolve in CHRIST'S name 
to make it the holiest and most 
beautiful we have ever lived, as 
we follow HIM.

"MY sheep hear MY voice, I 
know them, and they follow ME
I give them eternal life, and they 
will never perish--ever! 
No one will snatch them out 
of MY hand!" John 10:27-28
