A Christian is a follower of the Lord Jesus, the
Christ. Firstly, a disciple is a
follower of his righteousness; then he is a follower of his sacrifices.
If we are not following in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus,
in his righteousness and in his sufferings, we have not known him or the value
of his sacrificial death on the cross, and we are actually deserting him and
fleeing from him.
And to whom shall we go?
Outside there is only deep darkness.
