God Quote-Come Follow Me

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Matthew 4:19.

Jesus says, “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people.”

This was His invitation to Peter and Andrew who left their nets at once and followed Jesus as His disciples. “Come, follow me.” That is the invitation of Jesus for us too. As we drop whatever is holding us back and take that first step toward Jesus, something amazing happens: We walk into a brand, new life that is directed by God.

Jesus said in John 8:12, “Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”  Following Jesus is a walk in the light of His salvation. It’s the place where His favor shines on us, and shines through us to be an influence for the Gospel.

Matthew 4:19-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for life.
