The Cost of Discipleship

Share the Good News

Jesus' earthly ministry was marked by miraculous signs and the revelation of the Gospel Truth. Despite these manifestations, many chose to reject Him, showcasing the human rebellion against God's love and salvation. The rejection of Jesus is rooted in the same sinful nature that has plagued humanity since the dawn of creation. This rejection reveals a significant truth – that human hearts, when resistant to God's Word, are prone to reject even the most compelling evidence.

It's intriguing to consider the rejection of Jesus in light of our present context. Today, skepticism and objections to the Gospel can take various forms. Some may question the historical accuracy of Scripture, while others might argue against the moral standards it upholds. Yet, just as Jesus persisted in revealing the truth despite opposition, we too are called to stand unwavering in sharing the Good News. The rejection Jesus faced serves as a reminder that not everyone will embrace the message of salvation. It's our responsibility to present the truth with love, knowing that the power of transformation lies in the Gospel's message, despite the world's resistance.
