FOLLOW ME – The Social Networking of Jesus
Luke 5:
10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed.
Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” 11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus.
27 Later, as Jesus left the town, he saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at his tax collector’s booth.“Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. 28 So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.
“Jesus followed no man. Yet in just three years our Lord connected to thousands and convinced many followers.
I’ve been giving much thought and listening to considerable advice recently about how to reach readers who also follow Christ. This is crucial for Christian authors.
IF we seek followers of Christ to read our book (or our blog), where will our journey take us in three years?
(Jesus must have had a plan and strategy for Jews and gentiles to receive the gospel of the Cross before the sacrifice of the Cross.)
How did He do it? What was His strategy?
Although Jesus followed only God, our Lord pursued faithfully those who sought to follow him. Matthew, Zacchaeus, Mary Magdalene, a Samaritan woman at the well and Nicodemus are just a few examples.
Jesus was connected to a Mentor Circle. (You know the other Two.)
His Followers, Apostles, Paul, Timothy and others all built their churches in the same way – Mentors from the One original AND Followers of each new closely connected group of believers.
His followers he then added and pursued any who followed with love for their souls.
Therefore my intent is to follow some of your wise counsel from our inner circle of Christian authors. Yet my advice to us:
“Walk among the circles of our READERS. Show them Christ. See who will follow.
Do you have any specific directions for us?
