Following Jesus is never easy, never pain-free, never that comfortable. You have to deny yourself. Jesus says, “Foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Following Jesus is a downright scary thing, do you know that? If you really follow Jesus, it's scary. You can bid farewell to your casual, comfortable, convenient Christianity, bid farewell to all these earthly clutches you've been hanging on, these worldly things that you've been clinging on. You can say sorry, bye-bye to them.
But I tell you, Jesus is worth it. You will find it after many days, like what Jim Elliot has to say, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.” You’ll never lose. You’ll realise that if we seek first the kingdom of God, all these things will be added to us. We’ll realise that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Take that risk. He strengthens you. You will realise that He will never leave you nor forsake you, and you will realise:
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's
will save it.
(Mark 8:35 ESV)
