In 2Kings 2:1-13, Elisha followed Elijah and at the end, he obtained double portion as a reward.
In Numbers 27:18-23, Joshua followed Moses; at the end Joshua obtained rewards - God gave him the spirit of wisdom (Deut. 34:9).
In Acts 12:8, Peter followed an Angel of God and he escaped death.

The person you follow can determine your destiny therefore, you need a good leader as a ladder.
Jesus says "Follow Me", it is an appeal - Ephesians 5:1; Follow me is a divine invitation.



According to the passage, Earthly and Eternal rewards await those that follow Jesus.
