We can read where Jesus "called" people to follow Him. He "commanded" people to follow Him. As Christians, we "should" follow Him. But for the life of me, WHY WOULDN'T WE "WANT" TO FOLLOW HIM? I mean, let's think about it. He is before all things, the creator of all things, and the sustainer of all things. He knows all things (the future and the past), knows us, knows our enemies, knows our needs, and knows every fault of ours, yet He still loves us and wants us. He not only made all, but owns all, and still bought us all back from sin. And if there needed to be anything more, He could just make it. If we knew anybody that was half of all He is, wouldn't we hang around them all the time? Wouldn't we relax knowing that they could get us out of anything we faced? Would anybody HAVE to tell us we OUGHT to follow them, or wouldn't we be ecstatic to have them as a friend?
