FOUND BY JESUS, AND FINDING JESUS
When our dear Master goes forth to find a soul, it is very effectual work. He said to Philip, "Follow me."
I will gladly end my sermon just here if my Master will preach to some of you his two-worded sermon, "Follow me," "Follow me," "FOLLOW ME." "
Come, poor soul, you do not know the way! 'Follow me.'
You want some one to go before you, to be your leader. 'Follow me.'
You want some one to be your shelter, your companion, your all. 'Follow me.'"
That is what you have to do, good woman. You have been worrying about what you have heard from different preachers; Christ says to you, "Follow me."
That is what you have to do, young man. You have been reading those rubbishing modern thought books till you do not know whether you are on your head or on your heels. Burn them. Jesus says, "Follow me."
I know that some of you have been distracted with all sorts of silly talk; let that go to the dogs. Jesus says, "Follow me."
The crucified Saviour says, "Follow me." Take him for your atonement.
The risen Saviour says, "Follow me." Take him for your life.
The Saviour on the throne says, "Follow me." Take him for your joy.
The Saviour coming in glory hereafter says, "Follow me." Take him to be your hope.
"Follow me," "Follow me," that is the text for to-night, and that is the sermon, too.
Jesus said to Philip, "Follow me," and Philip followed him directly; and he not only followed Christ himself, but he began immediately to try to get others to follow him.
