SEPTEMBER 9 – LIFE

09/09               Mark 8:34

34 Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. 

LIFE

The Christ life requires change.  I must change from the selfish person that I was (dead in my trespasses and sin) and become more like Jesus day by day.  To do this I will need to spend time with Jesus and do what He says. I cannot continue living like the world and be an effective servant for the Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus is Lord.  I will either follow Him or follow the world.  There are no middle positions in a Christ like life.
