Psalm 22 & Mark 8:31-38
It is well known that Christ consistently used the expression “follower.” He never asks for admirers, worshippers, or adherents. No, he calls disciples. It is not adherents of a teaching but followers of a life Christ is looking for… Jesus could never be satisfied with adherents who accepted his teaching, especially with those who in their lives ignored it or let things take their usual course. His whole life on earth, from beginning to end, was destined solely to have followers and to make admirers impossible. ~Soren Kierkegaard
Are you a follower of Jesus Messiah or are you an admirer? As a church, are we followers or admirers of Christ? Join Pastor Mark as he asks this simple but difficult question of each of us.
