Following
At the risk of stating the obvious, let me say this: Followers of Jesus Christ are people who actually follow Jesus. Why is it necessary to state such an obvious truth? Well, as John Mark Comer has said, “we have created a cultural milieu where you can be a Christian but not an apprentice of Jesus.” Compare that to what Jesus said: If anyone serves me, he must follow me; (John 12:26)
The first competency of a follower of Jesus Christ is . . . FOLLOWING, which we will break down as
Being WITH Jesus,
Being LIKE Jesus, and
Doing the things Jesus did.
