Jesus does not promise us a bed of
roses or an easy ride if we follow Him. He said that:”Whoever
wishes to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross every
day and come here, follow Me.” when you decide to follow Jesus you
embark on a steep and rough road but IF you endure until the end you
will have the prize of eternal life.
What is it that motivates a child of
God to keep on following Jesus every day? It is the prize of eternal
life. It is the treasure that he is building up in heaven. If we look
back and we long for the things of the world, the fleshpots of Egypt,
the pleasures of sin then we are not worthy of the kingdom of God, we
are not worthy of Jesus. Jesus said that whoever puts his hand to the
plow and looks back is not worthy of Me.
Are you on that rough and steep road?
Do you deny yourself every day, pick up your cross and follow Jesus
even though things are tough? Are you working on your treasure in
heaven? Do you have an expectation or will you stand naked before
Jesus on judgment day?
May Jesus bless you.
