Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is "bear.” We often see this word
used by Christians when talking about following Christ. People in the New
Testament knew that there was a cost involved with following Jesus. He was not
popular in many circles and people knew that associating with him could be
detrimental to their social status. For this reason Jesus made clear what it
would take to follow him, on many occasions.
“Whoever does not bear his or her own cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple.”
~Luke 14:27
My question is: what does it mean in your life in particular
to bear a cross for Christ? God expects each of us to publicly state our
affection for the Savior, not just in words but also in action. It is important
for others to see why we follow Jesus. My prayer is that you take a moment to
evaluate how you can witness to others this week. When you spend time with
family and friends, think of specific ways that you can help them move closer
to a life with Christ.
Praying for you,
mo
