Jesus, our Divine Mentor!

As I prepared to write the seventh chapter In Biblescopes, I realized that I made Jesus Lord of my life to be a Christ follower when I was nine years old. Sure, at nine years old I was looking for someone who would never leave or forsake me. Ever! I answered Jesus'  call  to follow Him!  When, in that small Baptist church in Tampa, Florida, I heard Jesus' call for me to come to Him and He would never leave me. He would stick closer than a brother and be my friend. Needless to say, I went to the altar. A deacon prayed with me and I asked Jesus into my heart! The rest is history. Jesus has been with me every step of the way through the good, the bad, and the ugly for sixty-three years as my mentor.

Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV states, "For by grace you have been saved through faith.  And this is not of your own doing; it is the gift of God, not the result of works that any man shall boast." We are bought with a redemptive price only satisfied by the blood of the Lamb of God. Christ is our brother, our redeemer kinsman. Thank You Lord Jesus!

...to you? "Follow Me?" Did you ask Him to come into your heart, and forgive you right then just as you are? You didn't have to change anything just do a 180 degrees turn. That's called repentance.
