The
entire message of the Gospel rotates around one unique historical event – the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the
Cross. Jesus says, “If anyone who does
not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me,” (Matt 10: 38). Crosses
are certainly the troubles, pains, hardships, sacrifices, and loses that come
only because we follow Jesus. Compromising Jesus to avoid the crosses for a
better earthly life loses eternity for us.
Christ
expects His followers to love Him more than anything or anyone else. Do you
call yourself a Christian, a disciple of Christ, a follower of Christ? Are you
willing to love Christ more than all others? Are you willing to give up
everything for Christ?
To discover the great life is to find life in Jesus
Christ. We won’t find it in the typical places of our world. It is only found
in faith in Christ Jesus who died for us on the cross.
Live out our faith in
everyday life. When we shoulder the crosses Jesus gives us the strength to
serve others continuously. Christ will work in and through our life
transforming us into persons we are intended to be. Keep Jesus forever first in
our life.
