My Comfort Is JesusMostră

## Following Heroes When Jesus climbed into a boat, his disciples followed him. They followed him because they not only loved him and believed in him, but they also knew that he alone had the words of eternal life. And we follow this same Jesus for the same reasons—both in his Word and through the Spirit. We follow him as we read his amazing words recorded in Scripture. No human in history ever did the things he did or said the things he said. We follow him to the tomb of Lazarus, and he raises the dead. And we follow him as he rebukes the tempestuous wind and the raging sea, and nature obeys him. The world follows its heroes who, in time, die and become inanimate bronze statues or have their names and deeds recorded in history books. But we serve a risen Christ, One to whom death itself bowed the knee. Nothing and no one could ever compare to this wonderful Jesus of Nazareth, who gives us light in our life and calms our storms. Father, I praise you this night that I serve a risen Savior.
