“A man should never think so much of what he is as of what Jesus Christ can make him” (The Gospel of Mark, Barclay, 28)

1. Who is Jesus?

Col. 1:15, 19 “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation…for all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”

2. Why does Jesus want me to follow him?

Don’t follow Christianity, but follow Jesus. He is the person to follow.
