What does it mean to truly follow the Lamb, Jesus Christ, in all aspects of our lives?
In this video by Trent Moody, we are taken through Revelation 14:4, which speaks of those who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These individuals are described as the redeemed, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. The defining characteristic of a disciple, as Trent Moody highlights, is the unwavering commitment to follow Christ, irrespective of the direction of the world around them.
Moody points out that such disciples live counter-culturally, resisting the temptation to conform to the norms of the society they inhabit. Their adherence to Christ's lead is not a passive act but a conscious choice, grounded in obedience and in alignment with the teachings of the Scriptures as found in both the Old and New Testaments. This decision to follow Christ wherever he may lead is a testament to their faith and the transformative power of redemption.
John 15:16 (NKJV): 'You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.'
