The greatest claim any individual can make

...is that he is a follower of Jesus Christ. Why is this so great? Because Jesus is worthy of our devotion. He is sinless and a good Shepherd full of grace. Because He's the only way to God.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

Jesus is an infallible guide and has power to forgive all sins, to make us sons of God, to keep souls and to comfort our sorrows. Jesus will bless our efforts with meaning, success, and rewards. He can transform timid or tragic lives. He will be with us when we die.

FOLLOW ME -- Ira F. Stanphill
Oh Jesus, if I die upon a foreign field some day
Twould be no more than love demands, no less could I repay.
No greater love hath mortal man than for a friend to die.
These are the words He gently spake to me
If just a cup of water I place within your hand;
Then just a cup of water is all that I demand.
But if by death to living they can Thy glory see,
I'll take my cross and follow close to Thee.
