Jesus is the Only One to Hear & Follow
Peter and his buddies left everything to Hear & Follow Jesus. Have you left following everything, including the church, to follow Jesus?
And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
Luke 5:10-11
Is Jesus the only One you are Hearing & Following?
Have you left everything to follow Jesus?
In particular, have you left following the church to follow Jesus?
As a church leader, you are not exempt from leaving everything to Hear & Follow Jesus.
And the church is a bad substitute (just like anything else) to Hearing & Following Jesus.
Now, you don’t have a physical body to follow any more. You have to figure out what leaving everything to follow Jesus means in every day life. And don’t leave the church to follow Jesus. The church is the people who follow Jesus together.
As the under-leader of Jesus’ church, your primary responsibility is to Hear from Jesus and Follow him.
And then train others up in what it looks like to Hear & Follow Jesus first, before anything else.
