Beseech

I am a connoisseur of fine WORDS. 
There are some WORDS that cause me to stop and PONDER.

The WORD BESEECH reeled me in today...especially because of the context in which it was used:numerous times throughout the scriptures "the Savior BESEECHES us (me) to come follow HIM."

                                                          BESEECH?

HEBESEECHES ME?What does that mean?

beseech:
ask (someone) urgently and fervently to do something; implore; entreat: 
literary implore, beg, entreat, importune, plead with, appeal to, exhort, call on, supplicate, importune, pray to, ask, request, petition; 
HE is URGENTLY and FERVENTLY asking me to follow HIM
HE is IMPLORING and BEGGING me"Come follow me"HE does not appear to be passively asking or casually saying:"Hey if you happen to have time...oh and only if you want to...I mean, want to come with me...you really don't have to though"HE is ENTREATING me to walk with HIM.How can I possibly refuse?As I looked for Art on this topic...I found two Artists portrayinghappy children FOLLOWING CHRIST. I wondered if the WORD"BESEECHING" applied to them. Then I remembered"Become as a little child..."
