OWEN
Good morning! I am Owen Weddle, the Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist.
Do you have any memories of a word or phrase someone told you that you have remember for years? Does it constantly pop into your head, influence what you do and say? Maybe it was advice from your parents, or an uplifting word from a friend. Or, it may be a harsh, untrue word that has made you judge yourselves or lash out at others. One word or phrase can mean all the difference for people; there are those words, few and simply as they may be, that can change the entire course of your life.
In the Gospels, when Jesus would approach his soon to be disciples, he would say a simple phrase “Follow me!”Jesus didn't give them a whole list of commandments to follow to know first. He simply gave them a phrase that would ring in their ears long after Jesus left the earth. “Follow me.” Those simple words changed the entire course of the disciples' lives; they went from being people like fishermen and tax collectors to preachers, leaders, and ambassadors for Christ. Those few words changed the disciples' lives as their entire life would be about “Following Jesus.”
Want to see the course of your life change? Hear and remember the word Jesus speaks to your heart, “Follow me!”
May God Bless You!
