Being a follower of Jesus is not just a whim or a fancy or some
decision you make. It is a funeral, a death to self, and living with
Him and for Him.
Jesus never said, “Listen to your heart”
“Be true to yourself”
“Feel good about yourself”
“Happiness is what matters”
“Just be a good person”
“Nobody’s perfect”
Jesus actually said:
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself
and take up his cross daily and follow me.”
He is saying, “I don’t want passive followers. I want those who
are truly committed, those who will peer deeply into looking for
truth.”
The call to the Christian life is a call to radical, reckless
abandonment to surrender every area of a life to His lordship
Does that describe you? If not, what would it take to get you there?
