Hello All,
Are you a follower of Jesus, or just an admirer?
Jesus' "whole life on earth, from beginning to end, was destined solely to have followers and to make admirers impossible." - Søren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher and theologian
"The admirer never makes any true sacrifices. He always plays it safe. Though in words, phrases, songs, he is inexhaustible about how highly he prizes Christ, he renounces nothing, will not reconstruct his life, and will not let his life express what it is he supposedly admires. Not so for the follower. No, no. The follower aspires with all his strength to be what he admires. And then, remarkably enough, even though he is living amongst a 'Christian people,' he incurs the same peril as he did when it was dangerous to openly confess Christ." - Kierkegaard
Grace=Peace,
Jeremy
