What Does It Take to be Worthy of Jesus?

According to Jesus in Matthew 10:38, "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." To be worthy of Jesus, we must follow Jesus and taking up our cross is vital. When He took up His cross, He was surrendered to God totally, willing to give His life and His will for the will of His Father. That is exactly what we must do. We give our lives to Him.This may mean giving up things that the world has to offer such as money, power, popularity, or pleasures. We will seek to find God's will in our lives to be counted worthy. No longer do we desire to be number one. We desire for Jesus to be number one!

To take our cross is to know the road will not be and easy one, just as our Savior, Jesus took His cross. It was not easy for Him either. He loved us to the point of giving His life on the cross to redeem us!

Jesus said to take up your ctoss and follow Him. He also said if you don't you are not worthy of Him. It takes action to follow Jesus. It takes the desire to do as He did which involves sacrifice, but oh how sweet the results. It turns out what you think you are sacrificing does not compare to what you recieve in return! Peace and clear thinking on earth and life eternal with Jesus in paradise! A real place! Sadly not following will take you to the opposite place. I choose Jesus!

Life is a test with one question on it.

Life is a test. The test consist of ONE question. The question being- Did I choose Jesus or not? Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) Jesus said this, that means if we truly follow Jesus, we believe this. This supports 'The one question to Life' theory. I choose Jesus. I passed the test; coming to the Father. Jesus said so.

Which Gate to Heaven?

Jesus said, "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." This is found in Luke 13:24. Strait defined in Webster--difficulty, distress. Running into heaven will not be easy, quite the opposite. Adrian Rodgers had an interesting word play concerning living opposite.
LIVE-----EVIL            LIVED-----DEVIL
Don't live life backwards!
Running into heaven will be a choice to seek the strait gate; choosing the hard way. This is a scary verse, Jesus said these words, as a follower, we must believe His words. Who are those that seek to enter in and are not able to? Life is a test, to pass the test is to enter in. The test has one question:
Do I choose Jesus and follow Him or not?

I choose Jesus.

Running Into Heaven

Amazing! Oh how I wish I desired to run everywhere I go! Children desire to run everywhere they go! Teachers repeatedly remind them "Do not run in the hall." "We walk inside, we run outside." At the recess bell they do not stroll quietly out the door, they burst out like a cannon ball! So why do we stop them? When do we loose the desire to run everwhere we go? Will we run into Heaven?
 Jesus said "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
My plan is to run into heaven.
The closer I walk with Jesus, the sweetness makes me want to run into heaven!
