Follow After Jesus

“Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign,

went out to meet him.”

John 12:18

 

 

Have you read the verse above?

O.K, what’s your first question?

Let me guess: What was ‘this sign’ that the verse refers too?

Does it matter?

Maybe not as much as we think!

Hebrews 8:13 tells us:

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Jesus was the same the day before the sign was performed.

Jesus was the same the day after the sign was performed.

For all of humanity the single most important question to ask is not what sign will Jesus perform for me but rather what will you do about Jesus Christ?

Signs can draw a crowd.

Sometimes a very large crowd.

It’s easy to become anonymous in a crowd.

It’s also very easy to be so absorbed in the signs and wonders that we miss the person of Jesus Christ and what He has done, and will do, in our lives.

Jesus called men to “Follow me.”

He never called them to follow the signs and wonders He performed.

Don’t get me wrong, I truly believe signs and wonders are to be part of what follows every believer.

But that is just it – they are what follow us and not what we follow after!

Follow after Jesus.
