When Jesus called his first disciples, he simply said to them, “Come and follow me.” It wasn’t a call to a set of religious rules or to some church, club or denomination. It was a call to a person, the man Jesus. And therein is the essence of what distinguishes Christianity from every other major religion of the world.
When asked the question, “What is a Christian?” there are many who will say that a Christian is someone who reads the Bible and prays, or is someone who goes to church and does good to other people. But these are wrong answers! These are things that a Christian does, but not what a Christian is.
A Christian is someone who has made a deliberate and far-reaching decision to follow Jesus. It’s a radical choice but it’s worth it!
