All To Him We Owe

"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'" -Matthew 16:24

You will suffer. I guarantee you as a Christian, you will suffer. This is a hard concept for a lot of people to accept. But you see all over scripture, men and women of God actually rejoicing in their suffering! The modern person is perfectly content with accepting a Christ that will give to them. The are content with accepting a savior that will give them earthly items. This is wrong. We are called as Christians to give up our wants for the wants and will of God. We should rejoice in suffering! Jesus suffered, and so should we! We should lay down our entire lives for the Lord, and in doing so, accept that we will suffer. We will have strife! So did Jesus, more so than us. What I'm getting to here, is that by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are still going to suffer. But we should rejoice in that! We get to sacrifice for the Lord! We get to give all to God! Good night all, and God bless!
