Discipleship – Daily TAGline

Thought:

No matter how high the powers of reason, no matter how deep the intellect, no one can fully discover God’s messages without paying the cost of true discipleship.

Challenge:

What is the cost of true discipleship? Is it spending more time and energy strengthening your knowledge of Christ’s word? Is it getting out of your comfort zone and talking to others about your faith? Is it giving up worldly possessions in order to share with those in need? Whatever it means to you, remember the benefits of being closer to God outweigh any perceived costs.

Reference:

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

Matthew 16:24 (NABRE)
