A Worthy Disciple
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
MICAH 6:8 NIV
When Jesus addressed His disciples, He warned that each one must, "take up his
cross and follow me." The disciples must have known exactly what the Master
meant. In Jesus' day, prisoners were forced to carry their own crosses to the
location where they would be put to death. Thus, Christ's message was clear:
in order to follow Him, Christ's disciples must deny themselves and, instead,
trust Him completely. Nothing has changed since then.
If we are to be disciples of Christ, we must trust Him and place Him at the
very center of our beings. Jesus never comes "next." He is always first.
Do you seek to be a worthy disciple of Christ? Then pick up His cross today and
every day that you live. When you do, He will bless you now and forever.
Discipleship is a daily discipline: we follow Jesus a step at a time, a day at
a time. ~Warren Wiersbe
Discipleship means personal, passionate devotion to a Person, our Lord Jesus
Christ. ~Oswald Chambers
Discipleship is a decision to live by what I know about God, not by what I feel
about Him or myself or my neighbors. ~Eugene Peterson
Discipleship means allegiance to the suffering Christ, and it is therefore not
at all surprising that Christians should be called upon to suffer. ~Dietrich
Bonhoeffer
