Default What morality is inherent to Christianity?

When Jesus said, "follow me" did he mean act as I do exclusively, or in addition think as I think?

This question centres around the following definitions of morality sourced from dictionary.com.
  1. The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct.
  2. A system of ideas of right and wrong conduct: religious morality; Christian morality.
  3. Virtuous conduct.
  4. A rule or lesson in moral conduct.
If Jesus meant think and act as I do, then all apply. On the other hand if he mean't follow me in the sense of sheep following a shepard, 1 and 3 only apply. What is true of your practice of Christianity? Was the "system of ideas of right and wrong conduct" added by those who wrote the Bible in interpreting Jesus's actions? My own interpretation of Jesus is that he spoke very simply, in the form of follow me my sheep.

John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." NIV

Herein lies the crux of Christian morality. Love as Jesus loved. No more and no less.
