Will You Pay Whatever it Costs to Follow Jesus?

JULY 20

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy… Acts 20:24a

Do you pay a price—some extra time in the morning—to get into the Word of God? Do you pay the price of being ridiculed because you keep your Bible on your desk at the office or bow your head and thank God for His gracious goodness to you when He gives you a meal? Are you willing to be different? Will you finish your course?

When you’re running this race, you’re going to find out that you’re running right against the grain. Don’t get the idea that there’s a broad road and a narrow road, and the narrow road runs alongside the broad road, and over there a bunch of people are going this way, and over here you’re going in the same direction.

No, there’s the broad way, and here you are, right in the middle of it, going the other way. Against the tide. Against the grain.

What we believe 

• starts at a different source 
• follows a different course 
• ends at a different conclusion

…and there is a price to pay.

Frankly, today we don’t like the idea of a “price to pay.” We say, “Well, I’m saved by grace, and so I’m just going to float on into Heaven on flowery beds of ease.” No. A disciple is one who follows his Master, and there is a price to pay.
