BOB PEDEN
Kyle Idleman recently released a book entitled “Not a Fan.” In it he cites one example after another of people coming to Jesus, telling him what a great teacher, healer, and leader he is. Time after time, Jesus challenges them to leave everything and follow him. And most often, they turn away. For you see in Jesus’ day, as in ours, there are many people who are fans of Jesus; who want to tell him how great he is; cheer him on; even sing his praises.
But there are few who are willing to do what it takes to be a follower of Jesus. Jesus did not come seeking fans - he came seeking followers. How about you are you a fan of Jesus Christ, showing up each Sunday to sing about Jesus and learn a little more about him, or are you a follower of Jesus. One who seeks to do his will each and everyday in every detail of your life.
This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church and I am not a fan.
