Grace for your spirit April 1, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Teacher, I will follow You wherever you go. Jesus said, "Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."  Matthew 8:20

People made pledges to follow Jesus for all kinds of reasons.  Some people think if they follow Jesus, they will end up with prosperity and fame.  Jesus always challenged people to count the costs and be willing to pay the price.  Like a king going into battle counts his troops and their troops.  Like a tower builder who has to stop half way up because of lack of funds.  When we say we will follow Jesus anywhere we need to accept the blessings and the troubles that are connected to the walk of a disciple. The apostles had in wrong for a long time and we can get it wrong too.  Let's commit to follow Him in good times and in bad ones
