Called to give your all for a New Creation

Morning: Psalm 25; Deuteronomy 4:9-14; 2 Corinthians 1:1-11

Evening: Psalms 9, 15; Luke 14:25-35

In the catalogue of seemingly outrageous and unrealistic things Jesus said, high on the list is this: “None of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.” That is ... there are some urgent tasks that involve great personal risk. During the past 18 months, some courageous souls have given their all to care for others in this pandemic, just as soldiers give their all, in war. Jesus’s call is for disciples who are ready to give their all for a New Creation. This is the cost, and the reward, of discipleship.
