Why Do We Follow Jesus?


John 6:2 KJV
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

When a person examines John chapter 6 as a whole he will come to see that the theme of the chapter is following Jesus. The passage begins with a great multitude following Him and ends with only 12 left following.

The multitude followed Christ because they saw His miracles; the 12 followed because He had the words of eternal life.

So the question must be asked; why do we follow Jesus? If we follow Him for what He has done and we hope He will do, it is likely we will turn away.
Turn away when He disappoints us in not meeting our expectations
Turn away when He offends us with a message we did not like


But if we follow Him because He is the only one who has the words of eternal life, likely is, we will still be following Him to our dying day.
