Susan LaffertyWhy would someone risk their life to follow Jesus? Why give up all for Christ?
Eternal life with Him. Of course.
But so much more.
Across the years, we move. Entering new places. Living and learning in various cultures where following Jesus may cost everything.
And I consider a few of the many reasons for choosing Him. Why I can’t imagine life without my Lord.
Now and forever.
Preconceived outcome looms. Hinders. Weakens the witness. “Do you believe this is true?” A simple question. One I can ask after sharing the gospel. But everything in my mind braces for resistance, remembering frequent rejections. Anxious thoughts pile up. Expecting the “no.”
Ever dismayed by the demand? Narrow door. Only one way to the Father. Denying self, taking up the cross daily. So much surrender entering the Kingdom of God.
