"Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:27 (ESV) Jesus came to bear a cross. He came to serve, not be served. He came to live as an example for us so that we could see what it looks like to live in this broken world as one who is one with God. Jesus created and sustains life, and he knew how one should live in order to be successful in life. He lived a life of giving, caring, and teaching, or, in summary, a life of love, where others’ needs were more important than His wants. Jesus saw the ready harvest and was working it every day. He was not moved by political power, corruption, or influenced by money or societal norms. Being like Jesus is a lifelong goal of the wise, and it will not happen by accident. |
