His Name is Jehovah

What does Jesus mean when He says, “Follow Thou Me?”

Jesus is asking us to follow the many living examples that He provided during His mortal life. He was humble and kind. He was patient. Jesus fasted and prayed for guidance from his Father in Heaven. Jesus healed others. He helped the poor. He helped the widows and the fatherless. Jesus followed the will of His Father in Heaven. Jesus asked John for baptism, and was washed clean in the river Jordan. 

Jesus taught each living soul the importance of baptism, by entering the water with John and receiving of the ordinance for Himself. John baptized Jesus, meaning John buried Jesus under the water, laying His body down, and then brought Jesus back out of the water. 

The actions John and Jesus performed within the water were symbolic of what would occur three years later. Jesus would lay down his life, the Father of this Heaven and Earth, would sacrifice Himself, and die for all. 

After Jesus died and was buried within the Earth, Jesus triumphed over death and was resurrected back to life. Jesus appeared to many and explained that “He is the way”. In order to be saved, we must each follow Jesus and His will for us.  

If we desire to walk with Him, along His path, we must follow Him and His examples. We must live our lives, like Jesus lived His life. For how knowest thou the master whom thou hast not served?

He asks: follow me and honor my will.

He teaches: I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the First and the Last.  My name is Endless and Eternal.

His name is Jehovah. Glory to God!
