Follow Jesus Christ everyday:
Following Jesus is not on today, then off
tomorrow; then on again the next day: We must faithfully follow Jesus Christ
daily!
Jesus expressly commanded this when he told his
disciples, saying: “…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross [DAILY], and follow me” (Luke 9:23).
This is of utmost importance because we do not
know when the time is: in other words, we do not know when we will pass away. “And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews
9:27).
Once we daily take up our cross and follow
Jesus everyday we are at peace knowing that on the Last Day, the Day of
Judgment, “… the dead in Christ shall rise first…” (1 Thessalonians
4:16).
“He that spared not his own Son, but
delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all
things?” (Romans 8:32).
“For
none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live,
we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we
live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died,
and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living”
(Romans 14:7-9).
