Description
Christ did not make becoming a Christian an easy choice. His words in Luke's Gospel send a message of dedication and consecration that requires total commitment to His cause. Christ said, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me" (Luke 9:23). The object of this book is to examine -- using Scripture -- what it means to follow Jesus. What dedication does He really require? How can one follow Him in a Christ-pleasing way? What type of example did Christ leave for us to follow? We will visit places on both sides of the road on this journey, that is, Scriptures from the Old Testament and the New. We cannot follow Jesus well if we are not familiar with the school master -- the Old Testament -- which God has given to bring us to Christ. But it is in the New Testament where we find Christ no longer as an object of prophecy, but as a living being that came to bring salvation to all who would believe. It is the New Testament believer who starts on a journey very unlike that of the Old Testament saints. It is a journey that demands everything we have. This book lists numerous places where we will follow Christ on this journey to the celestial city. Some of those are the Place of Prayer, the Place of Healing, the Place of Miracles, the Place of Pentecost, and so on. There are a total of twenty-one chapters that hopefully will challenge the reader to follow the Lord in this earthly journey to the heavenly city.
