One of the reasons why so many people are content on the sidelines in the church I think is because we have made being a Christian to easy. We have made walking down an aisle and signing your card the criteria. In preaching through the Gospel of John Jesus calls for all of our lives. Radical sacrifice. We are to leave everything to follow Jesus. We are to take up our cross and follow Jesus. We have made discipleship about a checklist instead of about our lives. We are not calling people to give up all of their lives in obedience to Christ. We have made our Christian life an accessory to the rest of our life. Jesus calls for all of us. May I be obedient to give Him my life and be obedient in calling my church to do the same.
