What is it to follow Christ? One often forms a vague idea of what it is. It is to walk after a Person whom we acknowledge as the Guide we need. The one who has confidence in himself does not want a guide. Moreover, following the Lord implies not merely confidence in Him, but humble dependence on Him. Again, if I follow someone, my eyes are fixed on him, so as to imitate him. Now imitating the Lord is seeking to reproduce Him, to be like Him; and in whatever position God sets me, His object is that I should reproduce Christ in that position. We read of Caleb that he wholly followed the Lord his God.
