The apostle Paul writes, “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”
There are many people who come to Jesus. But not many of them become disciples.
Jesus spoke words of life that could save people. His authority came from doing the Word. We can get the same authority.
We are human. We sin. Is that the end of the story?
People must be able to see God’s word in our life.
Jesus said that to be His disciple, you have to “take up your cross daily”. How can you do that?

It could have gone very differently for the “rich young ruler” if he had chosen to give up everything for Jesus’ sake.
