Follow Jesus

“After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.” – Luke 5:27-28

David Livingstone was a Scottish physician and pioneer Christian missionary with the London Missionary Society. He was the first European to travel to the interior of Africa in search of the sources of the Nile River.

Once, he wrote home to England requesting more workers. In reply, he received this message: “We would like to send more workers to you, but they first want to know if there is a good road into your outpost.” To which Dr. Livingstone is said to have replied: “If you are offering to send workers who will come only if the road is easy, I can’t use them. I need workers who are ready to pick up their crosses and follow Christ. The road to Calvary was far from easy.”

Jesus is calling many people from all over the world to follow Him.

Pray for those who do not know Christ that they may know that He is Lord and follow Him.

“Following Christ has nothing to do with success as the world sees it. It has to do with love.” – Madeleine L’Engle

“‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him.” – Matthew 4:19-20
