Jesus said to His followers, "Lay down what you have and follow Me." Disciples of Jesus came to him with no baggage. He said, "I will make you fishers of men." Laying down what you have to pursue others is not a natural thing to do. This is why so many turned away from Him. So Jesus says "Are you going to leave me also?" Peter's reply, "Lord to whom shall we go, You have the words of eternal life?" This is the right attitude of a believer in Christ. To whom else can we go? God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. So what is your attitude toward the unbelieving neighbor? Should it not set on fire your desire to lead them to the Lord so that they too may not die a the second death? This is the calling of the Church which was a mystery in the prior times.
Daily prayer: Father, thank you for drawing us to the Son so that we may believe. Now use us in anyway You see fit so that we may be instruments of Your work in bringing others to the Son. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
