Follow the Lamb


To follow Christ is to commit ourselves wholly and entirely to Him as our only leader and Savior, and to submit ourselves to Him in every matter, both of doctrine and practice. "Following" is only another word for "believing." It is the same act of soul, only seen from a different point of view. As Israel followed the pillar of cloud and fire in all their journeys - moving whenever it moved, stopping whenever it tarried, asking no questions, marching on in faith - so must a man deal with Christ. He must "follow the Lamb wherever He goes." (Rev. 14:4.)

~ J.C. Ryle

Neat thought! Seems like you get a lot of quotes from J.C. Ryle. Do you have a book of his or something? I've never even heard of him elsewhere.

Hey Sam...I actually am on a J.C.Ryle quote email list, and get a new one every day. :) But I also have the books that most of the quotes (so far) have come from. "Expositional Thoughts on the Gospels"...feel free to borrow sometime if you want. :)
