Do you Follow or do you Lead?

I was reading the other day and I I read Matthew 21. As I was reading I got o thinking all those people who were there for the "Triumphal entry" were there praising Him. But the response of these people go me thinking about what might have really went down. Some people are followers and some are leaders, which are you. In this story people who followed just seemed to go with he flow do what  the next person is doing so therefore they laid down there coats.

Matthew 21:1-11
1. When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2.saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.
3. "If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."
4. This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5. "SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU, GENTLE, AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY, EVEN ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A BEAST OF BURDEN.'" 6. The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,
7. and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats.
8. Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road.
9. The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna in the highest!"
10. When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"
11. And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."

So in your life living for Jesus are you going to be a follower or a leader. Look at what you do, do you let other influence your morals and pressure you into something you are not really wanting to do. Well if you live your life for Jesus and let Him control your life you will be just a follower of Him and really no one can take that away unless you want them too.

Yoy have a great day Following Jesus.
