One Step At a Time

We are all lost without Jesus and when He found us we were without hope, but He became our hope and we thrust ourselves onto Him. We put our trust in Him for salvation and therefor WE HAVE TO FOLLOW HIM, voluntarily. Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me, let him deny himself , pick up his cross and follow Me, every day.” We follow Jesus because He is the only way to eternal life and we OBEY Him because we love Him. We go where He takes us and we don't complain. We follow Him because we trust Him and because He has become our life.

If Jesus has not become your life and if you do not follow HIM, then you don't have eternal life! It is not about religion, it is about Jesus and following Him, moment by moment. You trust Him with your life and wherever He takes you, is the way. That is the road that He takes you to eternal life, BUT you need to follow Him. If you withdraw, you don't have life because then YOU have left Jesus. Jesus alone in the way and the truth and the life and He determines our footsteps, so if things go “wrong” or they go the way that we did not want them to go IT IS STILL IN HIS PLAN AND WE SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN! We must TRUST HIM WITH OUR LIFE.

We must pick up our cross every day and follow Him and we must pick up His burden. He said:”Take My yoke on you because My yoke is soft and My burden is light.” What is His yoke, what is His burden? It is this world that is lost. It is people that are going to hell. We must pick up that burden and bring them to Jesus so that they can also, as we do, follow and obey Jesus and have eternal life.

Are you following Jesus, one step at a time, every day of your life? Have you found life in Jesus? Is Jesus REAL to you? Do you seek His approval all the time? Do you love Him and trust Him that much that you follow Him every day of your life?

May Jesus bless you
