Seguir a Jesus

Por Bíblia Online –

Seguir a Jesus é o convite mais transformador da Bíblia. Jesus chamou pescadores, cobradores de impostos e pessoas comuns para deixar tudo e segui-lo. Esse chamado continua vivo hoje.

O chamado de Jesus

Jesus disse: 'Segue-me'. Esse convite simples e poderoso mudou a vida de pescadores, publicanos e pessoas comuns ao longo da história.

19 He said to them: »Follow me and I will teach you to catch people.«20 At once they abandoned their nets and followed him.

9 Jesus moved on. He then saw Matthew seated at his work collecting taxes. He said to him: »Follow me.« He rose and followed him.

43 The next day he was reminded to go into Galilee. There he found Philip. Jesus said to him, »Follow me.«

57 On the way a man came to him and said: »I will follow you wherever you go.«58 Jesus told him: »Foxes have holes and birds of heaven have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.«59 He told another: »Follow me.« But he said: »Lord first let me go bury my father.«60 »Let the dead bury the dead. You go and publish abroad the kingdom of God.« Jesus replied.61 Another said: »I will follow you Lord, but first let me go say good by to my relatives.«62 Jesus responded: »No man, who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.«

O custo do discipulado

Seguir a Jesus exige renúncia. É preciso tomar a cruz diariamente, deixar tudo para trás e amar a Cristo acima de qualquer outro vínculo.

24 Then Jesus told his disciples: »If any man wants to follow me be mine, let him deny disown himself, and take up his stake and follow me Greek: akoloutheo moi, let him be following meaccompany mebe in the same way with me.

26 »You who come to me may not be my disciple unless you love me more than you love your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters and yourself.27 »Those who do not carry their own stake and come after me may not be my disciples.

28 Peter said to him: »We have left all and followed you.«29 Jesus said: »Truly I tell you, a man that has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the sake of the good news,30 will receive a hundred times as much now in this time, and in the age to come everlasting life.31 »Many that are first will be last and the last first.«

Caminhar com Cristo

Quem segue a Jesus não anda em trevas, mas tem a luz da vida. Ele nos convida a crescer nele e a servir como Ele serviu.

12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying: »I am the light of the world. He that follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.«

26 »If you want to serve me follow me! My servant will be where I am and the Father will honor my servant.

21 For this you were called because Christ also suffered for you. He left you an example a copy for imitationa model that you should follow in his steps.22 He committed no sin and deception was not found in him.23 When he was reviled insulted, he did not revile in return. When he suffered he did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judges righteously.

15 By speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in all things to him. For he, Christ, is the head.
