It’s not easy to walk with Jesus!

This is the most difficult challenge you will ever face in life if you are serious about Jesus.

It is easy to initiate a relationship with Jesus but this is just the start of a very arduous journey. 

Christianity promotes all the wonderful attributes of life with Jesus but mostly leaves out or minimizes the sacrifice of the Cross. 

The most important goal for a believer is to know Jesus. This is difficult because Jesus does not think or act like you. 

We are self driven people who desire to have a comfortable life and Jesus has no ego, is without sin, and is motivated by unconditional love. The personalities do not mesh and Jesus is not going to change.

You and I have to change if we want to walk with the Living Christ. The change takes place through the efficacy of the Cross. 

The salvation gift is about becoming a new creature in Christ. This means we die to self and are transformed into the character of Jesus. We learn to let go of self sufficiency and live under the power of the resurrected life of Christ. 

We enter into the fellowship of the sufferings of Jesus. The life is characterized by fiery trials, suffering and pain as we are conformed to His death and dealing with the need to let go of our ties to the world.

The Christian life is characterized by unpredictability and controversy following the model of Jesus. It is a roller coaster ride which makes no sense at times.

Jesus desires to give you an abundant life filled with His goodness but He has to come first in your life. This means giving up your independence and right to yourself. We are required to seek the will of God above all else.

Jesus is the way the life and the truth!
