First 26 Weeks

First 26 Weeks
Week 1- Week 26

How are we to Follow?

Two thoughts:
1. Jesus fought the three temptation from Satan the same way we are to battle him...with the word.
Satan tempts Jesus with the "lust of the flesh", "the pride of life" and the "lust of the eyes". Each time Jesus combats the temptation with, "It is written..." 

2. When Jesus ask two fishermen (Peter & Andrew) to follow him...Matthew 4:20 says, "At once they left their nets and followed Him."  Jesus then called two brothers (James & John) who were with their father.....Matthew 4:22 says, "immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him." 

"At once"..."immediately"... sounds like it was with little to no hesitation.  We are suppose to wait on the Lord....but when He says it's time to follow Him...it's time!!!! We should follow...immediately.
