       HOW DO WE FOLLOW CHRIST?

       [Matthew 8:22 KJV] "But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let
       the dead bury their dead." *********** I hear people say they
       follow Jesus according to his earthly ministry of Matthew, Mark,
       Luke, and John. Christ's earthly ministry was to Israel. He was
       preaching the gospel of the kingdom to Israel. The kingdom was
       the millennial kingdom, in which, believing Israel would reign
       with Christ.
       [Luke 14:26 KJV] "If any [man] come to me, and hate not his
       father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and
       sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
       [Luke 14:33 KJV] "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that
       forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
       [Luke 18:22 KJV] "Now when Jesus heard these things, he said
       unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast,
       and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
       heaven: and come, follow me."
       [Matthew 5:19 KJV] "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these
       least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called
       the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and
       teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
       heaven."
       [Matthew 5:20 KJV] "For I say unto you, That except your
       righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes
       and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of
       heaven." ************* These are the commanded requirements to
       follow Christ.
       [2 Corinthians 5:16 KJV] "Wherefore henceforth know we no man
       after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the
       flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more." ********* We
       aren't to follow Christ after his fleshly ministry in Matthew,
       Mark, Luke, and John.
       [1 Corinthians 11:1 KJV] "Be ye followers of me, even as I also
       [am] of Christ." ********* We are to follow Christ by following
       Paul. In Paul's epistles we find all of our commandments,
       instructions and doctrine.
