Where will He lead me?

"Follow Me!" John 21:19

That is: 
copy My example,
imitate My conduct,
walk as I walked. 

But if I follow Christ—then where will He lead me? 
He will lead you . . . 
to Jordan—to confess Him;
to the wilderness—to be tempted with Him; 
to the house of prayer—to worship with His people; 
to the sick, the poor, and the sorrowful—to labor for Him; 
to secret retirement—to hold fellowship with Him; 
to the world—to be persecuted for His sake; 
to the cross—to crucify the old man with his deeds; 
and, finally, to glory—to be forever with Him! 

If you follow Jesus . . .
carnal professors will not enjoy your company;
the world will despise your course;
nor will Satan allow you to go on quietly. 

If you would follow Jesus . . .
you must be a new creature,
your heart must be renewed,
your corruptions must be subdued,
your motives must be purified.

If Jesus leads you—then you will be safe. If you . . .
catch His spirit, 
copy His life, and
keep Him in sight—
you will be peaceful, useful and happy. 

O! to imitate Jesus today!
