Luke 9:23-24 (NKJV) 23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
Follow me. Those are pretty serious words when they come from the mouth of the Messiah!
Just as Jesus told his disciples to follow Him, He also calls us to follow Him.
He may not be walking here on earth with us physically, as He was with the disciples, but He walks with us in the spirit. And it’s up to us to choose whether to follow Him or not.
It’s a choice we have to make, day by day, minute by minute.
It would seem really nice if we could just make that choice once and the rest of life would be a piece of cake, so to speak.
But then there would be no faith involved. There would be no more choice involved. And our walk with God would be dull, lifeless and meaningless.
So it’s up to us to choose. It’s up to us to make a conscious decision every minute of every day, to follow the Savior.
It’s up to us to choose to put our faith and trust in Him. It’s up to us to choose to follow His ways and walk in His footsteps.
And it’s up to us to keep our feet on the path He has set before us.
Proverbs 4:26 (NKJV) 26 Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established.
What will we choose?
