Save
Jesus offered a single incentive to follow him; it was woven into all he said and did. Here is how I would after twenty-four years of following summarize his selling point: “Follow me, and you might be happy–or you might not. Follow me, and might be empowered–or you might not. Follow me, and you might have more friends–or you might not. Follow me, and you might have the answers–or you might not. Follow me, and you might be better off–or you might not. If you follow me, you may be worse off in every way you use to measure life. Follow me nevertheless. Because I have an offer that is worth giving up everything you have: you will learn to love well.
