Faithful is as faithful does...

Faithful is as faithful does…

And he called unto Him the multitude with His disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself (Have a Jesus first attitude), and take up his cross (burden to become a Christian), and follow me (faithfulness to practice the truth)…

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's (good news of Jesus death, burial and resurrection) shall save it.

For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? For what should a man give in exchange for his life? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels...Mark 8:34-38.


You faithful with the truth of Jesus’s death burial and resurrection…you are faithful to the practice the truth Jesus teaches too…you have never denied being a follower of Jesus or do you wish this was true of you?


Peter took Jesus aside and rebuked Him trying to enforce his will on Jesus after Jesus told Peter He was going to suffer and die. Are we truly handling the word of God right…or are we twisting up the word of God to fit our own will?


Prayer

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs for mercy and forgiveness…giving us a light and easy burden to bear and help us to live faithfully and never deny Your Only Human Fathered Son Jesus…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
