Follow Jesus not other Christians



Most people are like
sheep, they follow after other sheep. If you know sheep you will know
that if you can get one sheep to go into a direction the others will
follow him. The very same with Christians,
most Christians are like
sheep that follow after the sheep. However, Jesus Christ has a small
flock of true sheep. His sheep listen to His voice and they follow
Him. They do not follow after other sheep. All that matters to them
is what Jesus says.
Most Christian believers
run after other believers. They love to fellowship with other sheep.
They love to listen to the wisdom of preachers. They will quote
people, they will quote the Apostles; Peter, Paul and John but they
will not quote the words of Jesus Christ. They will listen to the
preachings and the teachings of Bible teachers, but they do not
listen to the words of Jesus Christ. They do not treasure the words
of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The
words of Jesus are the words of eternal life. Jesus Christ is the
word of God Jesus Christ is the wisdom of God Jesus Christ is the
only way the truth and the life and that is why His sheep listen to
His voice, they do not run after other sheep. They do not listen to
other sheep, they listen to the Master. they listen to their
Shepherd, Jesus Christ, because they know His voice and they follow Him.
The words of Jesus Christ are the words of eternal life for those who
obey Him, those who obey His commands, and He reveals Himself to
those who seek Him, who obey His words. He gives His Holy Spirit in
them and He guides them. He speaks to them. He himself is their
Shepherd and they follow Him. If we follow after other sheep, other
believers, we will go stray.
Most believers run after
the blind leaders of the blind and they all fall into the ditch.
There is only one way, and that, is follow Jesus Christ. Obey His
words. It does not matter what Peter said, what Paul said; there
might be some truth in what they said but only the words of Jesus
Christ are the words of eternal life. We must follow and obey Jesus
Christ to have life. If we follow after others we will perish.
Do not follow after men.
Do not follow after other sheep. Follow after Jesus Christ. Listen to
Him. Be guided by His Spirit and you will live. Those who are being
led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God; they are His true
sheep. Do not follow after men. Follow after Jesus and you will have
life.
May Jesus bless you.
