Matthew 4:22
He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Like new Christs, the Twelve and all the followers of Jesus in history reveal something of what it means to be a disciple. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, they were able to share the Good News to the gentiles and the Jews.
And their faith and love became the fuel that kept the faith burning in the hearts of men up to now.
Following Jesus is about listening and doing.
It is about putting into practice the things that Jesus taught.
It is about a lifestyle of peace and justice that sets one apart from others.
He doesn’t need to interview you.
All you have to do is drop everything and follow Him.
And it would not be a walk in the park with Him.
For true discipleship is found where people are hurting, where people are hungry, where people are oppressed, where people are denied justice, where people are dying.
Follow Him, He is waiting.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, may our love for You and others be our only concern. And may that love really push us to follow You and only You. We should be more concerned about who we follow such as Jesus rather than what the evil one tempts us to follow. We are Your disciples, forever. Amen +
The judgments of the Lord are true, and all of them are just.
