Luke 9: 23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever
is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them
when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the
holy angels.
These
verses are very powerful and to the point. It's requiring us as
yearning disciples to be willing to give up everything to follow Christ.
I don't know about you, but I find it very hard to do this. I don't
really need to elaborate very much on it because the verse is pretty cut
and dry. All I know is it kicks me in the face every time I read
it....Makes me realize that I'm not as good of a disciple as I should
be. I have a lot of work to do, but I'm not gonna stop trying.
