Today’s Thought “Personal Nomination” G. Ward

 

 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Matthew 16:24

Howbeit that the very compelling from the Savior of the entire world insists to know Him means to not present any sign of old character into this life given (cf. 2 Cor.5:17). Furthermore He shares that we too have a cross to bear, synonymous with great sacrifice. Others exacerbate a notion that we’re due something and I agree. We’re due a trip to the woodshed for thinking of ourselves too much!

This word “follow” carries a deeper connotation than the liberality (in usage) we’ve pursued. It means to walk the same road. What did Jesus do when overlooked, mocked and abused? Why not investigate and then let the world know of your findings (Mt. 5:16)…

Happy Tuesday!
