Luke 21:
16
You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers,
relatives and friends, and they will
put some of you to death.
Jesus knew precisely, that it would cost somebody
something, had they decided to follow Him.
There has been a high price to pay to follow Jesus,
since the time of His arrival, 2013 years ago.
Jesus issued this warning to His friends, right before
he was taken captive to be executed.
Some followers of Jesus, have sacrificed much through
the centuries.
I heard someone on the radio yesterday say, that
believer’s in the 1st century, lived during very
dangerous times—but that people living during the current century, are living
during the most challenging times.
It might be costing you something today, to mark
yourself as a disciple.
Maybe the person from work, that used to speak to you—or
the family member, that used to invite you to a family
gathering.
Jesus said this, about that kind of person….. “great is your reward in Heaven”.
Are you living dangerously, for the cause of
Christ?
What we do for Jesus now, is the only thing that will
last—and it will follow us all the way, to the Kingdom of
Heaven……
