Sunday morning, I preached about following Jesus. It is easy to say we “follow Christ” but what exactly does it mean to follow Him? In Luke 9:23-27 Jesus gives the perfect “job description” to anyone who wishes to follow Him. In the first half of my text, Jesus gave three conditions for following Him (verse 23). Those who wish to come after Christ (follow Jesus) must deny themselves, commit to following Christ to the point of death and continually follow Him on a regular basis. Then Jesus explains (verses 24-27) that as His followers, we need to look heavenward for our reward; as opposed to seeking our reward upon this earth. The Christian’s reward is in heaven, so follow Jesus while you are upon this earth.
