Read Matthew 4:18-22.
As Jesus sought his disciples, it was a life-changing invitation and commitment. They followed Him completely. Today Jesus is calling us to be all in on the path of discipleship. Discipleship is more than attending church or studying about Jesus. It is a journey of obedience, growth, and sharing what it means to be a Christian. Just as he called his first disciples to follow him, Jesus invites us to do the same. This might even mean changing the work we do. The main point is to let go of pursuits that would hinder our devotion to him.
Our aim as disciples is to follow our Jesus by living out His teachings. Through an intimate relationship with Jesus, we grow toward His likeness and are empowered to make an impact for good in the world around us.
Following Jesus is challenging, but it offers an abundant life and lifetime purpose. We discover the joy of knowing Jesus deeply, experiencing His presence, and becoming advocates for His kingdom. Our faith is strengthened, our character is shaped, and our lives can bear lasting fruit.
Personal Worship Option:
Today let’s respond to Jesus’ call with complete commitment. Lord Jesus, thank you for your call to discipleship. Transform us with your love to follow you faithfully, knowing you are with us. Amen.
