Grace for your spirit
Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountakin by themselves. Matthew 17:1
When Jesus took His apostles up on the Mount of Transfiguration, they climbed with lots of baggage. They were still dragging Moses and the Prophets with them, and God wanted to show them they would need to unload the baggage to make it to the summit with Jesus. A mountain guide once met such a person loaded down with unnecessary things. He informed the mountain climber that they would gradually have to sacrifice their stuff, or they would sacrifice reaching the top. Too many start to follow Jesus carrying all their loves with them. Will we give up our stuff, or will we sacrifice the summit? This is why Jesus gave us the secret of being His disciple. Deny self, take up His cross, and follow Him. The climb doesn't come with a Sherpa!! Are you still coming?
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
