Following of Christ
by John Tauler
Summary
Following of Christ instructs Christians to
follow the selfless life of poverty demonstrated by Jesus
Christ. Tauler describes poverty as the adherence to God's authority
over any earthly desire. God has created us as free individuals with the
power and capacity to choose a life of service to Him. Tauler teaches
Christians how to set aside material interests and instead seek God
inwardly. When we surrender ourselves freely to God, He transforms us
internally, giving us the grace to perform godly works. Once we have
freed ourselves from earthly burdens, we are able to receive divine
truth. Following of Christ is both spiritually and intellectually
fulfilling. All audience will be enriched by the practical wisdom in
Tauler's words.
