God’s Word for Today - 28 May 2024
Mark 10:21 KJV — Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 28 May 2024
Jesus’s call to salvation is a universal call directed to all the peoples in all the nations of the world and it is a free for all call. Christ paid the ultimate price of dying on the cross to make this possible for everyone. The price has been paid for you and all. While it is free to answer the call and obtain the free gift of salvation, the same is not true if you want to follow in Jesus’s footsteps. There is a price to pay for walking with Christ. He demands total allegiance and selflessness. You cannot thrive in the journey if you continue to entangle yourself in loving the culture of the world and want to be immersed in the rat race that characterises the world culture. Jesus is asking you to join the culture of Jehovah’s kingdom and be salt and light in the world. You cannot do this until you yield to the Holy Spirit in all humility and obedience unfeigned. Are you ready to pay that price?
Pray: O Lord God, I want to follow You in total obedience, please give me the enabling grace to be faithful. #Mok
