Luke 9:51-62. The call for each of us to follow Jesus is crystal clear in the scriptures, right? Of course, it is! Yet, so many come in and out of the church without ever really making the choice to run after the Lord with abandonment. Why is that? I wish I knew. If I had all the answers to this subject I would write a book on it. Still, for reasons beyond my understanding, I watch so many simply test the waters of faith. They come in, walk around, get to know some people, and maybe even place a toe or two in the waters to see how it feels without ever making the jump to really engage with Jesus and the community of faith. What are we afraid of? Everything! We think we know what this life should be like and well, a lifetime commitment of self-denial to follow Jesus just does not fit our western ideal. But what does it really do for us if we gain the whole world and in the end lose our souls? (Mark 8:36-38) Nothing, absolutely nothing. We are called to follow Jesus and be part of His kingdom with our full faith and fidelity to the King of kings and the LORD of lords. Leave the things of this world to the world and follow Jesus.
John 3:17 2 Tim 3:12
