Word from the Pastor - May 2013

Jesus says in Mark 8: 34…“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me”. What a morbid request this must have been to the disciples, knowing full well the barbaric nature behind that torturous punishment. We need to understand that taking up the cross is really about living a sacrificial life. Our society has forgotten the attitude of sacrifice. Everything we seem to do is based on a reward system. If we work hard, there is a reward—better job, better pay, better title, better relationship, better kids. But what if we just lived our lives without the expectation of a reward. Could you be satisfied with the sheer fact that out of your humble desire to serve or to give, there was no reward for you here on earth? Most of us could probably do that for a while, maybe even a year or so. Nowadays, following Jesus seems to run smoothly as long as it doesn’t get in the way of our dreams, and goals. Yet, I don’t think He wanted us to live without goals and dreams. Christ was saying this was the way of life He wanted us to pattern our lives after—continually, especially knowing that the end of His walk with the cross was death. Wow. Live a life of sacrificial giving or serving to the end of your days. What a challenge, and with no reward in sight? Could you do it?
