"Being A Learner and Follower
of JESUS CHRIST"
To be or become a learner and follower of The Lord JESUS CHRIST is not such an easy thing to do, especially in the times in which you live. Following The Lord JESUS often means thinking, behaving, and even talking in ways contrary to how mankind usually thinks, behaves, and talks. Much too frequently in this world, those who claim to be learners and followers of CHRIST JESUS, actually do so in words alone and not in actions. Oh, they can shout it out when necessary that they are Christians, but mainly when they are in like company and have nothing to lose. To truly be a learner and follower of JESUS CHRIST, will often mean having to make some difficult choices at times. When trying to be a learner and a follower of JESUS CHRIST, such things as lying, cheating, murder, vulgar language, evil thoughts, and actions, all need to be put aside and left by the curb, so to speak. Being a learner and follower of CHRIST JESUS also means putting Him first in one's life, which is something a lot of people have trouble doing.
From this day forth oh children of Mine in CHRIST, learn to let your light so shine that men will see your good works like JESUS did, and will glorify your Father Who is in Heaven. The Lord JESUS used to say that He always did those things that pleased Me, so you also should really try to do the same whenever possible. The Lord JESUS was never a pretender and neither should any of you be. When it comes to being a learner and follower of JESUS CHRIST, one should be willing to do that which is difficult to do as a man or woman, like loving thy neighbor as thyself. One should also be willing to forgive those who trespass against you, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you might be seen as sons and daughters of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. It will certainly not be easy, but neither is the way leading to eternal life. Now may you truly be a learner and a follower of CHRIST JESUS in every way, in His Holy and Most Precious Name.
AMEN
