"I Want to Follow Jesus"


I want to see the Christ child, who was born among the sheep. Follow in His footsteps, His legacy to keep. I want to be His chosen one, how humbled i would be. To fish with James and Simon, on the Sea of Galilee
 
I want to walk on water, feel His soothing peace. When the waves are all about me, and He calls for them to cease. I want to stand amongst the crowds, to know His mighty grace. See Him feed the multitudes and gaze upon His face
 
I want to see Him heal the sick, and cause the blind to see. Touch the crippled and the deaf, and cure the leprosy. I want to sit with Jesus, beside Him i would dine. Next to John and Philip, at a very crucial time
 
I want to pray with Jesus, and take away my fears. In the Garden of Gethsemane, I'll wipe away His tears. I want to be with Jesus, as He hangs there up above.On the rugged cross at Calvary, I'll shelter Him with love
 
I want to follow Jesus, when the stone is rolled away. To see the eyes of His disciples, as He slowly walks their way. I want to go with Jesus, His radiant face to see. In a flame of blazing glory, when He returns very soon for me !!!

Are you a disciple and a follower of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ or are you just a believer ? The first 12 disciples who spread the Gospel Message 2,000 years ago throughout the world were committed followers of Jesus. They were willing to risk all and give up everything in order to be true committed followers of Jesus Christ. Are you only willing to take the easy road and just be a believer. Or the hard risk-taking road that Jesus is calling all Christians to, in order to live the life of a disciple and a follower of Jesus Christ ? It is a big decision, and i believe Jesus is calling all Christians today to be risk-taking followers. Jesus is returning very soon. Are you living for just this world or for eternity ? Invest your life in serving Jesus, and He will have Eternal Rewards waiting for you when you appear before Him in Heaven. Will Jesus welcome you with " well done, thy good and faithful servant " ?  That choice is you! rs, eternity awaits your answer !!!
 
have a blessed day,  Gary
