And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. Luke 9:23‭-‬24 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.9.23-24.KJV

Following Jesus is no joke. We have to be serious about it. It is nothing to be taken lightly. Everyday Jesus faced ridicule because of what He was teaching, the miracles He performed, and people wanted to kill Him. He did not let any of that stop Him from doing the will of the Father. He was faithful until the end. Are we that strong to face the things that Jesus faced? Are we strong enough to deny ourselves daily and follow after Jesus no matter the cost? These are things we should and need to think about. Following Jesus is not easy, but when we decide to live for Him, those are some of the things we will encounter as Christians. Jesus had faith and He is God’s Son. Can we have that same kind of faith, that mustard seed faith to move mountains? Everyday we will face something and we will need faith to bring us through it. Jesus is a prime example of faith. He is who we can draw faith from. When we look at all of the things He went through for us; Even the death on a cross, a tree , mind you, He never complained about it. Even when He was being beaten, He never complained or questioned God as to why this sacrifice had to be the way it was. Jesus knew what He was going to face when it was all said and done, but He also knew what the complete outcome was going to be concerning Him being raised on the third day.

If we knew what was going to happen everyday of our lives, would we be able to handle it as Jesus did? Would we be able to handle knowing when we were leaving this earth as Jesus did? The answers to those questions are No!, and No! We would lose our mind. We would not be able to handle it at all. That is why it is not meant for us to know. Do you know how much God loves you? Do you know Him? Do you know that He sent His only Son into this world to take all of our sins upon Himself and give up His life for us so we can live free from sin? We were bought at a price when Jesus shed His blood for us, and that is something we will never be able to repay for as long as we live. Do not let time pass you by. Go to God in prayer and repent of your sinful ways and believe on the Lord Jesus and ask Him to come into your heart and be your personal Lord and Savior. It will be the best decision you will ever make in your life for your eternal life. God does not want any of His children to perish in a lake of fire in a devils hell. Why? Because it was not created for human beings, but I know there will be some there who chose not to follow Jesus and believe in God. Salvation is free. Where do you want to spend eternity? Do you want to spend it in heaven with Jesus, or in hell with the devil? The choice is yours, because as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Don’t take this the wrong way. I am sharing the truth in love because I care about your soul. God bless you all. Stay safe.©2022
