The simplicity of that invitation is amazing, is it not?
It recently has hit home in a deeper way after being immersed a little in John Mark Comer's work and writing. He uses the terms "follower of The Way", "apprentice of Jesus", "practicing the ways of Jesus" as models for the Christian life. A much needed simplicity, yet with so much richness to be plumbed in the following.
I love the simple re-phrasing. Years ago I read something by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (literally no idea what), but he use the phrase "keep close." It has always stuck with me and given me a mental image of a good dog with a good master.
