Christ said: Follow me.

If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me. (John 12:26)

The sign alongside the road in England said, "Changed Priorities Ahead." If you asked the taxi driver what it meant, he would say, "It has to do with how you give way to the traffic in the roundabout just ahead. You yield to a different driver than usual."...

[The sign was also] a vivid...summary of what it means to follow Christ. When Jesus called Peter and Andrew to be His disciples, "they immediately left their nets and followed Him" (Matthew 4:20). At that moment, it was as if God placed this sign on the road of their lives: Changed Priorities Ahead. He does the same in our lives as we hear Christ calling us to follow Him.
