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!
