The Call of Discipleship

Following Jesus means choosing one Lord rather than taking charge whenever life becomes hard. He tells His disciples to deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow His way with open eyes to the cost. Yet His example alone cannot make them faithful. Because Jesus first gave His life for them, His Spirit changes them from within. They can stop resisting His rule, return when they wander, and find life by losing it for His sake.
