Disciples of Christ

TAKEAWAY HIGHLIGHT

“The Way of the Cross is a narrow way, a difficult way, but a necessary way

if we ever intend to find Life. Entering the Gate is not the end of the journey;

it is the beginning of the journey. It is at the end of the Path that one finds

Life (Mt. 7:14), not the beginning. Jesus never made a distinction between

being saved and being a disciple. He is not “Savior” for new Christians and

“Lord” for older, more deeply committed Christians. Either He is Lord of

all, or He isn’t Lord at all.” Chip Brogden

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Ask yourself some questions: Would I consider myself a true disciple

of Jesus Christ? If not, do I really want to be? Am I just talking the

talk and not walking the walk? Am I sure I have an intimate personal

relationship with Jesus if I am not making every effort to do what He

has told me to do as His disciple?
