Will You Follow Jesus

In Pastor J's sermon, he reflects on his 37-year journey as a Christian, highlighting the difference between accepting Jesus as Savior and embracing Him as Lord. While many celebrate the benefits of salvation, such as grace and forgiveness, Pastor J emphasizes the importance of fully accepting Jesus's leadership in our lives, which includes following Him on a challenging path of sacrifice, humility, and purpose. He uses the example of Palm Sunday, where the crowds celebrated Jesus’s arrival while failing to understand the commitment it required to truly follow Him. Pastor J walks the congregation through three core qualities of Jesus's character—sacrifice, humility, and purpose—urging everyone to not only celebrate these traits but also embody them in their own lives. He explains how Jesus's humble entry into Jerusalem symbolizes His mission of sacrificial love, teaching that true discipleship involves living for Christ's mission rather than our own ambitions. As he concludes, Pastor J invites everyone to genuinely engage with their faith, asking poignant questions about their willingness to imitate Jesus’s example in everyday life as they walk the road of faith.
