Fan or Follower
At a recent Prime Time gathering, Elizabeth unpacked how ultimate rest and real life only comes from being a follower of Jesus, not merely a fan. Too often, people can wear the ‘Jesus swag’ (e.g., go to church, quote Christian cliches, wear the braclets) without actually knowing Jesus a real, intellectual, and intimate way.
How do go from fan to follower? Elizabeth gave us three simple steps.
First, know and admit you’re a sinner.
Second, believe in the good news of the person, work, and words of Jesus Christ.
And third, choose Jesus.
