Walking in Jesus' steps......

Good morning friends. Tomorrow is the big day. The day of the Crusade for Christ. We have over 300 people signed up to walk with us and 15 churches. That is just amazing in itself. God deserves all the credit and honor. Today I want us to think about Jesus's footsteps. Let's dig into the good stuff.

Bible Verse: 1John 2:6 "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked."

What does it mean to walk as He walked? Do we have to find 12 disciples and go out trying to perform miracles? Do we have to be crucified? We cannot copy the life of Christ. Because He was the Son of God and was identified that way. What we can do is mirror Him and His actions. First, we must obey His teachings and apply them to our lives. We must follow His example of love and compassion. We must also have a love to serve others. There is a book called "In His Steps" by Charles M. Sheldon. The main message of this book is compelling us to remember who we belong to, to remember to walk the Christian walk, and to realize that Christ is in us.

Here is the thing if you claim to live in Jesus, then walk as He did. Let us take up our cross and walk in His steps Saturday. Let's take one step at a time in the name of Christ. Let us be uplifting to one another. Let us show the love of Jesus to all we encounter. Let us let our light shine so bright that many from far away can see Jesus. Let us be the hand of God reaching out to other here in Roane County, Tennessee. Let us carry our cross 14.1 miles with courage and determination. Let us be happy to carry our cross. Let us be excited to just be able to carry the cross. I get goose bumps every time I talk to someone about carrying the cross. Guy's, God is so good and amazing in all He does. I ask you today if you are reading this devotion to please say a prayer for the Crusade. Pray for safety of all who are walking and that seeds will be planted everywhere. Pray that our light shines so bright for many to see that we have a risen Savior and that He died for them also! Thank you in advance for your prayers and if your not busy come join us tomorrow at 8:30 am at Paradise Baptist in Rockwood! Have a great day, I love you, and God bless!
