IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO SACRIFICE YOUR LUXURY AND PLEASURE FOR OTHERS TO HAVE AN AVERAGE LIFE, YOU ARE STILL FAR FROM BEING A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.

THE CALLED & CHOSEN:
THE CHURCH, AS THE BODY OF CHRIST, IS THE PLACE OF REFUGE FOR THE DISTRESSED AND A HELPFUL PLACE FOR THE POOR AND THE LESS PRIVILEGED.
MATTHEW 11: 28-29: “CHRIST PROCLAIMED, ‘COME TO ME, ALL WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVILY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.'”
THE CHURCH IS NOT SUPPOSED TO ADD TO THE BURDENS OF THOSE WHO ARE SEEKING REST FROM THEIR HARDSHIPS.
SOME WILL SPEND THEIR ENTIRE LIVES IN THE CHURCH AND YET WILL NOT KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A PRODUCT OF THE KINGDOM, CAUSING THEM TO MISS OUT ON THE RAPTURE.
IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO SACRIFICE YOUR LUXURY AND PLEASURE FOR OTHERS TO HAVE AN AVERAGE LIFE, YOU ARE STILL FAR FROM BEING A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST JESUS.
MOST OF THE CHURCH LEADERS ARE NOT DEVOTED TO THE WILL OF GOD, RATHER THEY ARE ONLY DEVOTED TO ENRICHING THEMSELVES WITH THE OFFERINGS.
IN CONCLUSION: FINDING A TRULY DEDICATED AND DEVOTED CHRISTIAN WHO IS READY TO SACRIFICE HIS MEAL FOR THE POOR AND WRETCHED MAN TO EAT IS HARD, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
AND WE ALL ARE SINGING ABOUT THE MERCY OF GOD AND THE GRACE OF ETERNAL SALVATION.
WE MUST LEARN FROM THE WIDOW OF ZAREPHATH. [1 KING, 17: 8-24]
WE ARE: “THE WAY OF THE CROSS.”
