Jesus is not a salesman. His words are not words of enticement. When Jesus speaks directly and personally to you, His words will appear strong and unyielding. He will take those things that you most treasure and ask that you abondon them and to come and follow Him. He will not plead with you or try to reason with you. He will simply go to the heart of your treasure and tell you full devotion belongs to Him. This is why many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed Him. To those who remained, He gave the power to be sons of God and He gave them responsibility to rule with Him because of their faithfulness.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, You deserve full devotion. Let us by our will and by Your will, separate ourselves from the treasures of this world so that nobody or nothing interferes with being a disciple. In Your Holy Name I pray Amen.
