Jesus never asks us to do anything He has not done, go anywhere He has not gone, including death. That indeed is the characteristic of a leader who people will follow. But first comes the cross. No cross, no crown.
Right now, there are many, maybe some of you who are in a very difficult place, financially, with your job, your future, your home, health, relationships, your ministry, everything. This is exactly the time when Jesus and His Word can become everything to us. Instead of the everything getting on top of us, Jesus wants to be our everything!
