We’ve made discipleship comfortable. Manageable. Something that fits into our schedules. But Jesus never said, “Add Me to your life.” He said, “Deny yourself. Take up your cross. Follow Me.”
“Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves… For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for Me and for the gospel will save it.”
That means surrendering control. It means letting Him redefine your ambitions, relationships, money, time, and reputation. It means saying: “You can have all of it.”
When you truly see who He is - the Holy One who was slain and now reigns - casual Christianity becomes impossible. The only reasonable response is to lay your whole life at His feet.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44)
