“ If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.” John 12:26 (NASB)
When Jesus spoke these words to the people living and following Him when He was here on earth, He was not thinking exclusively about His 12 disciples who had followed him for almost 3 years. He was not thinking only of the crowds that physically followed Him when he came through their town or village. He was talking about people who would follow Him spiritually after He died on the cross and rose from the grave. He was talking about us today who claim to be following Him. Jesus said that His followers would be where He would be. Yes, if we are His followers we need to stay close to Him. But we're here on earth and He is in heaven so how can we stay close to Him? Of course, we know that He is near us as He promised to be. We stay close to the Lord by keeping our thoughts on Him by listening to His words in the Bible and by praying and having a prayerful attitude at all times.
