                    "FOLLOW ME."
To understand that calling and Jesus’ invitation, we need to understand the context. In Jesus’ day, childhood education started at age five as young boys went to the synagogue school to learn Hebrew and memorize the Torah. By the time of his bar mitzvah at age 13, a typical Jewish

                    That Sounds Like a Cross to Me

                    THE LITTLE CHAP WHO FOLLOWS ME
A careful man I want to be, 
A little fellow follows me;
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he’ll go the self-same way.
I cannot escape his eyes.
Whate’er he sees me do he tries.
Like ME he says he wants to be—
That little chap who follows me.
I must remember as I

                    See the words spoken “Follow me and I will MAKE YOU...” Spurgeon explains it this way in his introduction to his sermon on this text, “When Christ calls us by His grace we ought not only remember what we are, but we ought also to think of what He can make us. It is, ‘Follow Me, and I will make

                    [221].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM - FOLLOW ME – I’LL DO THE REST
Some of us find it hard to follow.  We like to give orders and tell people what to do.  However to be subservient and obey, and follow, is irksome to some of us.  Early in Jesus’ ministry He walked by the sea and we have this –

                    “Jesus did not say discuss me; he said follow me.”  We do not make terms with Christ; we surrender to Christ.  We do not compromise with Christ; we submit to Christ.

                    One cold, snowy Minnesota night, I got lost on the way home. The snow was blowing so fast and piling up so high, I couldn't see any street signs. With no map in my car and a dead cell phone, I thought I might be stranded so I pulled over to the side of the road.

This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks——this will cause you to have one of those arguments.
