Follow Me

«When he had called the people to himself with his disciples also, He said to them: Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.» Mark 8:34

Before His death, Jesus gave many instructions to those who followed Him. They still did not understand very well why He had come to the world. They still thought that Jesus would be crowned as a king, destroy every enemy and give a good life to all who were suffering.

Jesus had come to teach them to obey Him, to be kind and to prepare for His kingdom in Heaven, not to live forever here on earth.

Then He said these words: “If you want to be My followers, you need to stop doing your own will and do My will.”

You have already learned that our heart is dirty. In order to follow Jesus, we must let Him live in our heart, so that it will be clean. Then we will no longer want to do our will, but God’s will. When we do the will of God, we are much happier.

Let’s practice!

Pay attention to your heart. Do you have any desires that don’t please God? What are they? Tell your mom and pray together so that you will do God’s will.
