La Pensée du Jour: Following Jesus

Do not follow Jesus at a distance; walk near him and never let go. Cling to Christ!

*What I wrote above should not be taken literally. It is a rhetoric of christian spirituality and devoted or genuine discipleship. Nonetheless, being a follower or disciple of Christ entails living a radically transformative life that woes people to Jesus to do the same. Following Jesus in this violent and uncertain world is an alternative living that also involves a high level of active self-denial, sacrifice, serving and loving people unconditionally, and treating them with respect and dignity.
