All That Jesus Taught-Lesson 8

In this lesson from the All That Jesus Taught series, we examine Jesus’ command “Follow Me” (Matthew 4:19) and uncover the profound meaning of biblical discipleship. Christ, though fully God, emptied Himself of divine privileges (Philippians 2:6) and became fully man (1 Timothy 2:5), tempted in all points as we are (Hebrews 4:15), so that He could serve as our forerunner (Hebrews 6:20) and example. True obedience goes beyond conversion and forgiveness—it involves progressive sanctification, walking as He walked (1 John 2:6), purifying ourselves daily (1 John 3:3), and running the race with endurance (Hebrews 12:1–2). This teaching calls believers not merely to admire Christ, but to follow Him in practical, daily victory over conscious sin as part of completing the Great Commission.
