Matthew 4:18-20
Matthew 4:18-20
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee,
he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and
his brother Andrew.
They were casting a net into the lake, for they
were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At
once they left their nets and followed him.
John 21:19-22
John 21:19-22Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which
Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him,
“Follow me!” 20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom
John 21:19-22Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one
who had leaned back against Jesus at the
supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to
betray you?”)
John 21:19-2221 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” 22 Jesus
answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to
you? You follow me.”
Jesus asks every one of us to follow Him.
What does it mean to follow
Jesus?
What does it mean to follow
Jesus?We are going with Jesus.
We are going with Jesus.
We need to focus on Jesus, not other people
or other stuff.
(You) Follow me.
John 21:22
You - Me - Follow
We are going with Jesus.
We can be sure that we will never be alone.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that
nothing can ever separate us from his love.
Death cannot. Life cannot. Angels cannot,
and all the powers of hell itself
Romans 8:38-39 cannot keep God’s love
away. Our fears for today, our worries about
tomorrow, or where ever we are—high above the sky, or in the deepest
Romans 8:38-39 ocean—nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our
Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us.
What does it mean to follow
Jesus?We are going on a journey.
We are going on a journey.
- We can’t stay where we are.
We are going on a journey.
- We won’t have a map. We have a
guide.
