You see HIS FOOTSTEPS in the sand.
And you are INVITED to FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS.
You ACCEPT HIS INVITATION
and take the first step.
And oh how you
experience
REAL JOY
REAL PEACE
REAL LOVE.
And then you start to experience
REAL SUFFERING,
a SUFFERING that you particularly don't like.
And you wonder that
if FOLLOWING IN HIS FOOTSTEPS
is what you really want to do.
So you open up your BIBLE and seek a disclaimer,
seeking something
to release you from SUFFERING.
And then you find it.
And you understand completely what is means
to
FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS.
So you continue on
one STEP at a TIME
because you can't imagine
FOLLOWING in anyone else's FOOTSTEPS.
"For [as a believer] you have been called for this purpose,
since CHIRST SUFFERED for you,
leaving you an example,
so that you may FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS.
HE committed no sin,
nor was deceit ever found in HIS mouth.
While being reviled and insulted,
HE did not revile or insult in return;
while SUFFERING,
HE made no threats [of vengeance],
but kept entrusting HIMSELF to HIM who judges fairly.
HE personally carried our sins in HIS body on the cross [willingly offering HIMSELF on it, as on an altar of sacrifice],
so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness;
for by HIS wounds you [who believe] have been healed.
For you were continually wandering like [so many] sheep,
but now you have come back to the
SHEPHERD and GUARDIAN of your souls"
(1 Peter 2:21-25 MSG).
To FOLLOW JESUS
is
To WALK as JESUS did
no matter what is happening,
because
when you
FOLLOW JESUS
and WALK as JESUS WALKED
HE is always HAPPENING.
Therefore,
I choose
"THE JESUS WAY"
