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 And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.20 And they immediately left their nets, and followed him.

9 And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the tax office: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.

57 And it came to pass, that, as they were going in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.58 And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath no where to lay his head.59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.60 Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go and bid them farewell, who are at my house.62 And Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking 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 said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

26 If any man cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.27 And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 Then Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.29 Jesus answered and said, Verily I say to you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.31 But many that are first shall 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 Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

21 For even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: for us: some read, for you22 Who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: himself: or, his cause

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ: speaking…: or, being sincere

4 Ye shall perform my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk in them: I am the LORD your God.
