Luke 14:27<\/strong>\u00a0\u201c<\/em>And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.\u201d<\/p>\n In the television series “The Chosen” in the season 3 trailer, Jesus had this exchange with one of His Apostles. I felt like i was being asked if I was ready to hard things. My heart raced and I gulped. I don’t think Jesus would have wanted me to respond “I hope so.”<\/p>\n Jesus responded to the Apostle “Well, we will see.”<\/p>\n Jesus wants a firm commitment. He wants us to live for Him at all times and at all costs. Am I ready? Like the Apostle said to Jesus I would likewise respond “Yes” and hopefully not with any hesitancy, but with a sure commitment. If Jesus appeared to you, right now, and asked the same of you, how would you react, what would you say and how would you say it? Let’s be ready, we don’t know what’s ahead. Let’s make sure our commitment to Jesus is strong and sure. He deserves that.<\/p>\n Psalm 150:6<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Micah 7:7<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will Hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Micah 6:8<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0He has\u00a0shown you, Oh man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; and what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of you, but\u00a0to do justly, to love\u00a0mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.<\/em><\/p>\n Numbers 6:24-26<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0bless you and keep you; 25\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0turn His face\u00a0toward you and give you peace.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Luke 14:27\u00a0\u201cAnd whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.\u201d In the television series “The Chosen” in the season 3 trailer, Jesus had this exchange with one of His Apostles.
