Dave I totally agree. I have been trying to follow Jesus for a year or two so far and I have learned a lot . Sadly most of the church does not teach us to love and follow the Lord. However, here is how I have come to understand things. Imagine you have a best friend or older sibling. You look up to this person and want to be like him or her in every way. You study their personality and do what they do. Eventually that person's influence will rub off on you. Has anyone wondered why best friends look and act alike? If we think of Jesus as both our Lord and best friend, we can be well equip to follow Him.
I think you are missing the point by doing this video. Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5 that those disciples who once knew Christ as you described, followed him everywhere, but henceforth they know him not anymore in that manner. Jesus said that the goal is not to be with him 2000 years ago as Thomas did on those dusty roads but now with the Holy Spirit and rely only upon faith. I don't want to go back on those dusty roads, I want to believe and one day I will receive the crown of faith which Thomas never experienced.

I appreciate the Hebrew breakdown! Good video! Thanks for sharing! Peace and Blessings!
Love this encouragement. Great video Dave.
Many Christians believed by following Jesus is just go to church become a sacristan etc.. for me following Christ is obeying him and trust in him
I try to do the same thing. I want to be a part of the group that Christ says "Well done" to.
Why do we call Jesus Lord and do not the things He says to do
Thank you so much 🙏🏻👍
This was such a great video! I want to be covered in Jesus too.
Dave, according to Scripture, must one be the Master's disciple to possess eternal life and to enter through the gates of the City?
Can’t bc I’m to young my mom won’t let me download insta
I DO ! .
I was searching for how to follow Jesus and you talk about how to follow you... 🙈
Maybe you didn't want the whole thing?

Thanks for your input Glen. It's a metaphor ... it's not a literal return to dusty roads. The idea is symbolic of following Jesus closely.
I feel I could walk closer to Jesus!
Thanks, Peace
Amen
Following very closely ❤
So glad to hear that!
