Message:  Jesus Calls Us

Verse:  “Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?  Jesus saith unto him, if I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?  Follow thou me.”  (John 21:21, 22)

“Sarah, you follow me and don’t worry about others!  (Peter worried about John).  The world is full of calls—money, marriage, etc.  The sweetest and greatest call is from Jesus, “Follow Thou Me.” 

1.      Jesus calls us to leave our sins, wrong attitudes, bad disposition, etc.  (Proverbs 6:16-19).  Jesus said to Peter, “Follow Me!”  Don’t live just for yourself.  Remember, JOY is spelled:  Jesus, Others, You!  Only by serving others can we have joy!

2.      Jesus calls us to a deeper prayer life.  The burdens get so heavy.  “Take your burdens to the Lord and leave them there.”  Pray for myself, pray for others, prayer for victory in our lives, pray for our enemies. 

3.       Jesus calls us to read our Bibles more.

4.      Jesus calls us to trust Jesus.  He is able to carry our burdens! 

5.      Jesus calls us to witness more consistently.

6.       Jesus calls us to greater faithfulness.

Thanks for your consistent living of this message.  Thanks for reminding me, by your life and actions, to always follow Jesus.
