It\u2019s important for us to rehearse this in our lives, we\u2019re not following an idea or a brand that we are trying to constantly put a remix to or upgrade, we are following a LIVING BEING with emotions &amp; feelings like us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultimate goal of our lives should be the simplicity of \u201cKnowing\u201d somebody (Jesus) rather than being obsessed to become somebody !! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUPREME is a word that came to my mind while meditating on this. Supreme means above all or the highest in rank or authority. Jesus is Preeminent over our lives, but most of the time We can just add him to our schedule or make Jesus a part of our resume so We look good to others. Another question we have to ask ourselves does Jesus DEFINE who we are, or are we using Jesus to just describe who we are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We live in a world that loves things to be really complex and complicated, so when it comes to The Simple Gospel of Jesus we almost can\u2019t accept it or it\u2019s not enough for us, or it\u2019s too good to be true, so we end up not fully surrender to him. Jesus came to make it simple for us &amp; to restore our hearts back to what they were intended for, to be LED &amp; that we would simply JUST FOLLOW JESUS&#8230; Disciple: The word disciple comes from the Greek word mathetes.
