WEEK 3: LIVE LIFE PURPOSEFULLY

Day Twenty

Notice Jesus said, "Let us go." He expected His followers to do as He did and go where He was going. He makes no apology for that; it’s an expectation. Jesus could have said, "You guys can stay in this town if you want, but I'm going to other places to share the gospel." But He didn't. He said, "Let us go".

Your flesh (or sinful nature) will always choose the path of least resistance. However, we are called not to live according to the flesh but to the spirit. (Romans 8:5) The call of God will beckon you to heights that are not of human desire. We must trust and obey the Lord in every task and direction we take. He is, after all, God. The cross is not a comfortable object to carry, nor something anyone of the flesh would ever choose.

If you ever feel God saying, "Let us go," it’s the best thing you can hear because you’re not going alone but with Christ Himself. Maybe you have resisted that call to a certain ministry or to sacrifice something your old nature is holding onto. Pray today that as you hear His voice, you will follow. Jesus told us to go to the ends of the earth, but sometimes that starts at our end. Do our neighbours, family, and colleagues even know that we’re Christians? More than that, do they know what that even means? They’ll only know if someone tells them. That someone is you!
