Mother’s Teaching No. 10
“Whoever wants to be led by the Lamb should become a lamb smaller than the Lamb.”
Heavenly Mother said that whoever wants to be led by the Lamb must become a lamb smaller than the Lamb. It is because we cannot follow wherever the Lamb leads us if we do not become smaller than the Lamb. As long as we are bigger than the Lamb, we may follow the Lamb for some time when His lead is in accordance with our thoughts. However, we will begin to act on our own initiative when His lead is no longer aligned with our thoughts. We must become smaller lambs by getting rid of our thoughts and follow wherever the Lamb leads us.
To be led by God who is the Lamb and enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we must become smaller than God. In other words, we must throw away our own thoughts, regard God’s words as absolute, and only obey His words. We sometimes do not understand why God leads us on a difficult path instead of an easy way. And sometimes we might think that God’s words do not align with ours and that our ways seem better than God’s.
However, God’s thoughts are different from ours (Isa 55:8). We have to lower ourselves and judge our thoughts by God’s standards because everything that God tells us to do is for our own good. Disobedience comes from an arrogant heart that wants to become bigger and higher than God. We must remember the words of Mother to become lambs smaller than the Lamb and obey God’s words in every circumstance so that we may become God’s people who enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 . . . They follow the Lamb wherever he goes . . . Rev 14:1–4
