Follow Christ

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Washington, D. C. · Jan 28, 1915

WOULD you follow Christ? Then follow him in self-denial, in humility, in patience, and in readiness for every good work. Follow him with a daily cross upon your back, and look to his cross to make your burden light. Follow him as your guide and guard, and learn to see with his eyes and to trust in his arm for defense. Follow him as the friend of sinners, who healeth the broken in heart, and giveth rest to the weary souls, and casteth out none that come unto him. Follow him with faith, resting your whole acceptance with God, and your title to heaven, on his meritorious blood and righteousness. Lastly, follow him with much prayer. For, though he is full of compassion, he loves much to be entreated; and when he is determined to give a blessing, you must yet wrestle with him for it. Thus follow Jesus, and he will lead you to glory.—Bogatzky's Treasury.
