BE A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST
Sakkie Parsons
Translated from Afrikaans: “Wees ‘n navolger van Christus”
Following something I read, the next thought came to mind which I want to share with you:
Never follow those that are not followers of Jesus Christ.
Also remember:
There are people with whom one spend time and there are people with whom one invest time.
I must strive to be, you might say, an agent/broker of Jesus Christ.
1 COR 10:31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
For example, Paul was someone whom we can very boldly follow. He write:
1COR 11:1 And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.
Through your life in love, always preach the Gospel to everyone, but be careful who you mix with and who you make part of your circle of friends.
We have an Afrikaans saying that says:
"Mix with the pigswill and the pigs will consume you”
Jesus put it this way:
MAT 7:6 “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy.[a] Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.
Greetings,
Sakkie
