Show Me Part 2

Last week we looked at Luke 9 where Jesus asked His disciples who people thought He was. Then He turned the question and asked them, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter spoke up for the group. Do you remember His response?

Jesus then gives the apostles and us a challenge: Show Me. Today I want to revisit this passage again and explore how we might live out our faith in God.

Luke 9:23–26 NKJV

Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.

The road that Jesus calls us to walk with Him will look different for each one of us. Here’s an interview with a friend, Jacob Austin, a recent graduate of Welch College who will soon be moving to Southern France as a response to Jesus’ call to “take up your cross.”

Your journey with Christ will likely look different from Jacob’s It’s YOUR journey. But regardless of the road, Jesus calls all of us to join Him on a great journey. Have you joined Him?
