John 12:26 … To truly FOLLOW Him (08/05/16)
You know, Jesus never once said “worship me” anywhere in the Bible. Indeed, he often went out of his way to tell folks NOT to do so (see Matthew 7:21-22, Mark 10:18, Luke 4:8, John 5:22, John 6:15, John 8:50-54, John 12:44 et al) … What he DID tell folks to do was to FOLLOW him — to openly adopt his teachings — to fully enliven his Love — to boldly emulate his values of Kindness and Justice and Decency and Respect for others. And one of the very best ways any of us can do so these days is to Go Vegan … Peace to ALL.
“Whoever wishes to serve me must follow me … For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done for you … If you understand these things, you are blessed while you do them … Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me must also do the works that I do … They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me … And this is my commandment: that you love others just as purely as I have loved you.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 12:26 + John 13:15-17 + John 14:12 + John 14:21 + John 15:12)
