Jesus called the people and his disciples to him and said: “If
anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his
cross and followe me.” (Mark 8:34).
Jesus Christ willingly gave up everything on the cross
so that we could have forgiveness of sin and salvation. Those of us who want to
be his followers must also be willing to take up our cross, give up everything
and follow him.
Today’s Gospel is all about discipleship. Jesus has an
interesting interaction with His disciples, especially Simon Peter. Following Jesus means to walk in His footsteps
and where he leads us to go. We must desire to follow Jesus. It means a will to
choose to obey him in every area.
Are you following your own way or Jesus’ way? Let’s renew our commitments to really give God our soul and our life for Jesus and his Church.
