St Johns Ashfield

Come follow me.  What is Christ asking when He calls us to come follow?

Is Christ asking us to follow Him so that we can walk with Him?  He is.  Jesus desires to walk with us, as He walked with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.

Is Christ asking to us to follow Him so that we can seek what He did?  He is.  Jesus desires that we become persons with whom the Father is well pleased.

Is Jesus asking us to follow Him so that we can attain citizenship in His Kingdom?  He is.  Christ desires that we become citizens of His Kingdom.

Is Christ asking us to follow His actions and emulate Him?  He is.  Jesus desires we become meek and humble as He was and proclaim truth with charity as He did.

Is Christ asking us to follow Him so we can join ourselves to Him?  He is.  Jesus desires that we yoke ourselves to Him as we take up our crosses.

Christ asks much of those who desire to follow Him.  He also provides much and rewards greatly.
