What It Looks Like To Follow Jesus

W

This won’t be long.

This article is shorter than almost anything we’ve posted in the past.

It won’t be crowded with clever writing or human wit.

But it will be powerful. Even, dare I say it, life-changing.

If you want to know what it looks like to follow Jesus, read on. Read on, and believe.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:13-16, ESV

  • I love these verses! Thanks for writing this. It is a great reminder. 🙂

  • I think @martialartists:disqus and @harpistforhim:disqus pretty much said it all! 🙂

  • “light of the world”, “salt of the earth”, “…gives light to all in the house”. Every command here has been isssued on a massive scale. Just another verse that shows that God can send us to do things bigger and more impactful than we could ever imagine! Thanks for the reminder!
