The following lesson was prepared by Rolly Tolentino.

"...come and follow me." - Mark 10:21

Jesus invites us to come and follow Him, regardless of our circumstances in life. I was 18 years old when he called me to follow and know Him personally. I was involved with drugs, lying, cheating and stealing. I thought that I was having fun at that time and enjoying my life to the fullest, but I was so wrong. I did not realize that I was committing sin and that I was gradually turning my life away from God. I got tired running and finally on Aug 26, 1981 I made a decision to call God to please help me. He asked me not only to walk in His footsteps, but to follow His way of life so that I can be identified with Him. My new lifestyle and service will give witness to His abiding presence, perfect love and mercy. I reach out with joy to take hold of His hand so that I may walk more willingly in His ways.

"If anyone hears me calling and opens the door, I will enter his house and have supper with him, and he with me." - Revelations 3:20

A disciple of Jesus is a person who is trying to respond to the personal invitation of Jesus to be His friend and follower. Jesus first encourages us to “come and see” who He is and what He stands for. Then He asks for a deeper dedication: "Come, follow me.” A disciple strives to be like Jesus, to imitate Him, to enter into a kindhearted understanding with Him so that he can eventually be identified with Him. This relationship with Jesus must be internal rather than just external.

Amidst all the enjoyment we are having during the long weekend, let us not forget to thank God for the many wonderful blessings that He has provided for us. Let us also remember to thank each other for being there in times of happiness, sorrow, or need.
