Come:

Come Follow Me.

Following after means the path has already been trod.  We can't go anywhere that the Savior hasn't already been.  Not only is this an invitation, I choose to believe this is also an entreaty, an appeal.  I believe He wants us with Him.

I'll have to adjust the mental picture I've always had when hearing this phrase - of me, half a step behind, with my hand firmly in His, eager to go where He goes.

Now I think I'll mentally picture Him waiting, just ahead with an encouraging smile - a hand outstretched just waiting for me to catch up.  It will be an eternal endeavor.
