Grace for your spirit March 16, 2011

Grace for your spirit
So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions. Luke 14:33

Is there a cost for becoming a disciple of Jesus? It is true that salvation is free, but it will cost us to walk in His footsteps. When we put Him first, the others things we possess will have to take a back seat. How can Jesus demand that we give up all our possession to follow Him? When we surrender everything to Him, He will let us use them while we are here. He doesn't mind that we own things, as long as they don't own us. Jesus must have first place in everything. As the song says "Kneel at the cross, give your idols up. Look unto realms above." Are we still hanging on to something that really belongs to Jesus?

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
