But more interesting to me is the matter of why one follows Jesus. There can be no better reason for following Jesus than the one you give. But if following someone known to be good is required to attain the goodness we desire for its own sake, I have to wonder who Jesus followed. If Jesus didn't follow anyone, and we're sincere about wanting to do it his way, perhaps true following should omit imitation. If Jesus' way was to follow his own conscience, then anyone wishing to follow might want to start there.
Bang on that is, well put.
