Have you heard the saying, “You are what you eat.” or “You get what you pay for.”? We get it when it comes to so many things in life. I gave up on my dream of playing professional sports. I came to the realization in my thirties that I had done nothing to organize my environment to prepare me to be a sports star.
If you’re like most Americans…and me, we want things that will benefit us, but we don’t want to do the work to get there. When we hear about what Christ offers His followers we’re all quick to respond with a hearty “yes”. But we desire the benefits without the commitment.
If you want the life of Jesus, then you MUST adopt the lifestyle of Jesus.
