John 12:26 … To truly FOLLOW Him<br />
(08/05/20<strong>16</strong>)<br />
You know, Jesus never once said "worship me" anywhere in the Bible.<br />
Indeed, he often went out of his way <strong>to</strong> tell folks not <strong>to</strong> do so (see Matthew 7:21-<br />
22, Mark 10:18, Luke 4:8, John 5:22, John 6:15, John 8:50-54, John 12:44 et al)<br />
... What he did tell folks <strong>to</strong> do was <strong>to</strong> follow him -- <strong>to</strong> openly adopt his teachings<br />
-- <strong>to</strong> fully enliven his Love -- <strong>to</strong> boldly emulate his values of Kindness and<br />
Justice and Decency and Respect for others. And one of the very best ways any<br />
of us can do so these days is <strong>to</strong> Go Vegan ... Peace <strong>to</strong> all.<br />
“Whoever wishes <strong>to</strong> serve me must follow me ... For I have set you an<br />
example, that you also should do as I have done for you ... If you understand<br />
these things, you are blessed while you do them ... Very truly, I tell you, the one<br />
who believes in me must also do the works that I do ... They who have my<br />
commandments and keep them are those who love me ... And this is my<br />
commandment: that you love others just as purely as I have loved you.” ~ Jesus<br />
