“Follow Me”
Why follow talkofJesus.com?
You likely know the most famous Bible verse in the world: John 3:16. What you may not know as an unbeliever or marginal ‘christian’ is what follows. The Good News of Jesus for some (in this world) is conditional as John clearly states later.
John 3:
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 “For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
Many have read the Gospel and scripture even here since 2013 on talkofJesus.com; however Jesus finds so few who want to follow Him (let alone via social media followers of talkofJesus.com).
Since we 21st century ‘christians’ (& others) devote limited seconds per post in our constant following of so much of the world online, I am beginning in the year of our Lord 2020 with briefer thoughts.
The Apostle John gives us another reason to “follow talkofJesus.com” as you quickly seek a better path to “follow Jesus.”
The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey [Jesus] will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on [the soul who rejects Jesus].”
John 3:36
I follow Jesus, don’t I?
- Went to church two or three Sundays this month. CHECK.
- Gave a little to church & some to charity in 2019. CHECK.
- Treated most everyone nice like a good ‘christian.’ CHECK.
- Sometimes I tell friends I go to a nice church. CHECK.
- My “Christian Social Witness” to others occupies most of my online time. … well… I’m no evangelist.
They don’t want to hear ANY talk of Jesus.
I’m a ‘christian’ and God will save them with almost all of the world some day. … Right?
… And of course we ALL have better things to do on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and (oh I can’t remember that other #socialmedia I use sometimes).
Does Tik Tok even allow me to talk of Jesus to others? No one would follow me and everyone I know would laugh out loud.
Again He said, “Follow me.”
To be continued tomorrow, the second of January in the year of our Lord 2020
