Conclusion                   We who follow Jesus are poor in spirit, mourners, meek, hunger and thirsty for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, persecuted for the sake of righteousness.   Also, we who follow Jesus are those who have been called by the Lord.   The Lord has also promised us, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”   We who listen to the voice of the Lord and obey the Lord's call and follow the Lord must not only open our mouths to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, but also live a life worthy of the gospel.   We who follow Jesus are the light and salt of this world.   We must not become disciples of Jesus who have lost their taste.   Rather, we must shine the light of Jesus into this dark world.   We must live our lives reflecting good deeds.   We must give up our hypocrisy and live a life of harmony in words and deeds.   Al...

Introduction                 “When we walk with the Lord In the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way!   While we do His good will He abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey.    Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey” (Hymn “When We Walk With the Lord, v. 1).                   I want to follow Jesus.   I want to hear the voice of the Shepherd Jesus and follow Him only (Jn. 10:3-5).   Even though the way Jesus went is the way of the cross and the rough road of Golgotha, I want to deny myself and take up my cross and follow Jesus (Mt. 16:24; Mk. 8:34; Lk. 9:23).   I want to walk the narrow path that Jesus walked rather than the wide path of this world.   I want to walk by faith rather than by sight (2 Cor. 5:7).   And I...

Jesus calling us (1)       [Mathew 4:18-22]   We all want to live a life that follows Jesus more closely.  May we all write “Follow Jesus” on the tablet of our hearts.  What must we do to follow Jesus?  As we meditate on Matthew 4:18-22, we would like to receive the lesson that God gives us by meditating on the scene where Jesus calls Peter and his brother Andrew, and James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John.   Look at Matthew 4:19 – “Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men.”   This is the word Jesus said to the fishermen when he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting their nets into the sea while he was walking on the shores of Galilee (v. 18).   As I meditated on these words, I divided them into two categories. (1) It is Jesus’ calling.   Jesus called Peter and Andrew, “Follow me.”   (2) It is Jesus’ promise.   That promise is, “I will ...

Jesus calling us (2)       [ Matthew 4 : 18-22]     We all need to live a life that follows Jesus closer and closer.  I would like to learn a lesson by thinking about two things.   First, what must we do to follow Jesus?   We must hear the voice of Jesus calling us: “…   Come, follow me …   and I will make you fishers of men” (Mt. 4:19).   This is what Jesus said to the fishermen when he saw them casting their nets (v. 18).   When Jesus called them, he gave them a word of promise.   The word of that promise is, “I will make you fishers of men” (v. 19).                   Jesus is giving us a higher calling.   We can know this by looking at the fact that when Jesus called Peter and Andrew, who were fishermen by profession (v. 18), he promised to make them fishers of men (v. 19).   Jesus is calling you to “foll...
