The True Followers

The Sermon on the Mount might be one of the first events where the stark contrast between those that follow and those that don’t becomes apparent.

The multitudes that came to see and hear saw Jesus and His followers and must have thought looking at them that, they are different…they are set apart…they are not like us…and maybe for the first time the disciples must have looked out at the multitudes and thought the same thing…we are different…we have been set apart…we no longer are part of this multitude…we are followers of Christ.

Jesus says…come follow Me

Do we respond with a yes then apply the title of a Christian based on our first response and do nothing in the way of following?? To be a Christian is to follow…it should be apparent to those that do and to those that don’t.
