Follow the Leader

So Jesus has asked us to follow him. Which involves what exactly?
  1. Going to church
  2. Reading your Bible
  3. Praying
  4. Spreading the Gospel

(Uggggggh.) Can we get beyond what you're supposed to say... I mean think about it, it's not like Jesus is walking around right here in York County and we can just hop right in line behind him and start singing "Follow the leader." (See: Disney's Animated Peter Pan---youtube it).

This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
1John 2:5b-6

You want to follow him... do what he did! Live how he lived. Remember those super awesome bracelets that everyone had once upon a time... they said WWJD? What Would Jesus Do. Just because the bracelets are outdated, doesn't mean the message is. This is how we should live our lives. Consider every choice with the principles and lessons of the Bible in mind, with the words and teachings of Jesus guiding our thoughts and decisions. Although... how can we do this if we don't know much about what Jesus taught? How are we ever supposed to live like him? 
Open up those Bibles!
(Jesus knew the scriptures so well, he could school the religious leaders of his day. He makes them look like idiots, it's really great.)
