The Price of Following Jesus

Good morning Family, Happy Saturday! Praise God for bringing you safely through another week. God loves you. I love you. Take a moment to reflect and rest on this Sabbath day. Let’s sing, I will follow Thee, my Savior, Wheresoe’er my lot may be. Where thou goest I will follow; Yes, my Lord, I’ll follow Thee. I will follow Thee, my Saviour, Thou didst shed Thy blood for me; And though all men should forsake Thee; By Thy grace I’ll follow Thee. Today’s verse is from Matthew 16:24. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. Taking up one's cross isn't easy, but there is nothing in this life that is better than following Jesus. No possession or position can lead to true satisfaction in life—that is found only in Jesus. This means that just as Jesus took up a cross and gave up everything He had, by following Jesus we must also do the same. Commit to following Jesus regardless of how difficult or challenging life might become. The cross, while painful, is temporary-abundant life with Jesus is eternal. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
