The call of our Lord

You follow Me.
John 21:22

The call of our Lord
When we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and accepted Him as our personal Saviour, He simultaneously called us to follow Him. To be His disciple, no maturity or probation is required. No, we are capable of following Him immediately after our conversion.

However, the questions arise: Do we respond to the call of our Saviour with our lives? Are we willing to surrender the leadership of our lives to Him and stand on His side? It may be that we have been saved for a while but have hesitated to follow this call of the Lord Jesus. Why, actually?

Who is it that calls us to follow? It is our Saviour who loved us and gave Himself for us unto death. He is also our Lord, having a claim on our lives because He purchased us for Himself through His blood. The better we know the Lord Jesus Christ and the higher we value Him, the easier it is for us to follow Him with all our hearts.

What exactly does it mean to follow Him? At the beginning it’s the conscious decision to go after the Lord Jesus. We surrender the leadership of our lives to Him and are willing to follow Him every day. But being a disciple of the Lord Jesus also means learning from Him and imitating Him. We can only do this by observing how He behaved as we read about Him in the Gospels.

Today’s reading: Exodus 5:1-14 · Luke 2:1-7
