FOLLOWERS

The Blind Men's Reason 

Social media, gangs, friends and other societies have followers. The reason for them following may vary but they are committed to follow.  

In today's daily reading in Matthew 20: 30-34 we see Jesus performed a great miracle and after they received their sight - they followed Him!

Matthew 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. 

Another Reason

John 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 

TODAY'S TOPIC: WHAT'S YOUR REASON?

Today many people are celebrating the resurrection and speaking of Jesus but....  Are you just an "Easter Sunday" follower? 

Reflecting on the blind men story and the multitude of the loaves and fishes miracles why are you a follower?  Lets do some soul searching...

• You were raised up in church and that's what you are programmed to do even without a relationship with the risen Christ?
• You were invited to the church and follow because you like the music and people?
• You enjoy the perks, blessings,and status of being called a follower?
• You do it as an outlet or something to ease your loneliness, security blanket or avoid being labeled as a heathen etc.?
• You follow to wear your "holier than thou" outfit to your neighbors or to make others feel unworthy and point out their sins and faults?
• You live in condemnation and guilt of your past?
• You live a life of fear, scared and attacked in the mind, thoughts, emotions, body and spirit?
• You are seeking for love, attention, a spouse or other needs?
• You just want to set and look like a good example?
• Others....?
• You follow Jesus because you truly understand the reason why he died and is risen?  (If you do please write a comment on why you follow Him)

Remember while some of the reasons maybe good, they are not enough outside of a true personal and intimate relationship with Jesus The Risen Savior!

GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP THE FAITH!
