This blog post summarizes the sermon: What are we to do with the Old Testament? (Pt 1)
Devotional
Following Jesus isn’t about checking boxes or maintaining appearances. It requires total surrender and commitment. When we truly understand who Jesus is and what He’s done for us, we realize that no sacrifice is too great. He gave everything for us, and in response, we’re called to give our whole lives to Him. While this may seem daunting, the rewards of following Christ far outweigh any temporal losses.
Bible: John 6:66-69
At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. 67 Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?”
68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. 69 We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God.”
Reflection Question
What is God asking you to surrender to Him that you’ve been holding onto?
Quote
Following Christ will cost you everything, but it is worth all that you give up and more.
Prayer
Jesus, give me the courage to follow You wholeheartedly, regardless of the cost. Help me trust that You are worth everything I might give up. Amen.
