Withersoever He Goeth 
 

by Raymond Harris

Three great gift in Revelation 14:4 there is a sentence which reads: ”These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.” This verse speaks of souls who were redeemed, without guile and without fault. We are impressed with the fact that these had not followed the Lamb with reservation or in just those areas where they were pleased to go.  No, these went whithersoever the Lamb went. This total commitment to Jesus reminds us of Enoch, Noah, Moses, Abraham and others who walked with, before and after the Lord.

As we further consider this matter of following the Lamb whithersoever He goeth, we would do well to consider well the clearly defined pathway that our Saviour trod.

If we determine to follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth, we will:

1) Endeavor To Fulfill All Righteousness: In Matthew 3:15 Jesus explained to John the Baptist that, even he, had the responsibility to obey all the commandments of God. Likewise, we should strive to know and carry out all things that God, through His word, declares to be right.

2) Be Baptized: Even though John the Baptist baptized for the remission of sins (Lk. 3:3), and Jesus had no sin, it was needful for Jesus to be baptized so it could be said that He obeyed the commandments of God (Heb. 5:8-9). Today everyone who reaches the age of accountability is a sinner and needs to be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:37-38). If we wish to follow Jesus we will be baptized.

3) Go To The House Of Worship: A careful study of God's word will indicate that Jesus carefully fulfilled all the commandments regarding worship to God (Lk. 4:16-21; Lk. 22:7-15). Hence, those who are determined to follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth, will put forth every effort to sing, pray, give and commune with the saints. Such is not a matter of choice but a matter of loving obedience.

4) Go Into Fields Of Service: Just as Jesus came not to be ministered unto but to minister (Matt. 20:27-28), so the conscientious follower of Jesus will also be about the Father's business. Our motto should be ``I have been saved - to save!'' and daddy that love each other, like each other, and are committed to each other). 12 months of working to improve your marriage is a gift they will be thankful for for life.
