Luke 9:18-27
TOPIC:
BE READY TO PICKUP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS
There are times for
private and public prayers. No doubt, one of His prayer requests in private
would have been that God should reveal who He was to His disciples.
The people did not have
sufficient revelation of Him. If Christ were a mere prophet, no matter how
great, then he would not be qualified to fulfil His divine mandate of saving
the world from its sins.
The disciples,
especially Peter, had a divine revelation of the Lord Jesus as God, most likely
in response to Christ's prayer.
The Lord began to
prepare them for the life of suffering He was about to go through because He
knew that they would also be affected.
Knowing the kind of
death, He would soon undergo, the Lord Jesus clearly told them that, as His
followers, they also had to be prepared to pick up their crosses and follow
Him.
QUESTION:
Are
you ready to pick up your cross and follow the Lord Jesus?
PRAYER: Lord, grant me the grace to pick up my cross and follow You, in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
