I don't follow Jesus because I was socialized as a child to do so. I don't follow Jesus because He is in vogue. I don't follow Jesus as some sort of last resort. I follow Jesus because in the final analysis, no other world view makes sense. I had doubts, but they were simply another sort of belief system. I follow Jesus because He has rescued me and restored me back into the relationship with God I was actually created for. It's not easy, but it is always good since I no longer rely on my finite self for hope, reason and purpose.
