From Quiet Talks on Following the Christ, by S.D. Gordon
Following means climbing.
A man walking alone down the middle of the one true path was more to Him, immensely more, than a great crowd wabbling along on the edge.
The touchstone of the ‘Follow Me’ life is not imitation but following; not copying but obeying; not struggle—though there will be struggle—but companionship, a companionship which nothing is allowed to take the fine edge off of.
He lived the dependent life.
