Jesus said, “Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be” — John 12:26

Can you be a doctor
just on say so?
Or a dentist
drilling feet?
Can you build
without foundations?
Sow weeds
and then reap wheat?
Surely you see
the absurdity!

Can you follow Jesus
without following?
Just learn of Him
in books?
Be a Christian
and not be like Him?
Just on Sunday
for the looks?
Surely He can see
the absurdity!
