What Did I Say About Following Me?

You want to know what I said about following Me? Let Me remind you. In Matthew 16:24, I said: “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.”
Following Me begins with surrender. You must lay down your will-and carry your cross.

In Luke 9:23, I said: “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” It’s not a one-time decision. Following Me is daily. It’s constant. It’s personal.

In John 10:27, I said: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” My followers recognize My voice. They listen. They trust Me. And I know them as My own.

In John 12:26, I said: “If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be.” Following Me means being where I am-walking in step with Me, wherever I lead.

In Luke 14:27, I said: “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.” You cannot follow Me without sacrifice. Discipleship costs something-but it leads to everything.

In Luke 18:22, I told the rich young ruler: “Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow Me.” To follow Me, you must let go of what holds your heart. Nothing can come before Me.

In Matthew 4:19, I said to My first disciples: “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Following Me changes your purpose. It’s not just about believing-it’s about becoming.

Why Do My Words Matter? Why Should You Listen to Me? Because they are not just from Me-they are from the Father.

In John 12:49-50, I said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me… gave Me a commandment… and I know that His commandment is life everlasting.” The call to follow Me is the call to life. It is not optional-it is eternal.

And I told you in Matthew 24:35: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” Your job, your reputation, your possessions-they’ll all fade. But My invitation to follow Me will never fade.

So if you’re still asking, “What did You say about following You?” Here’s My answer: Deny yourself. Take up your cross-daily. Hear My voice. Be where I am. Let go of what holds you back.
Follow Me-and I will give you purpose. Follow Me-and I will lead you to life.
