That phrase has a familiar ring to it… “Follow me,”

“…. and I will make you fishers of men.” said Jesus.
“… As I follow Christ.” said Paul.

We only ever really grow if we have some-one to follow and eventually learn from. Kids follow their parents and learn about life, apprentices follow their mentors to learn a trade, and Christians… we follow Christ and those who’ve left a good example by doing just that… following him.
