Jesus spoke these words: “If anyone would come after me, they must first deny themselves, take up their cross and follow me.”
Matthew 10:22-23
“You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”
*Jesus chose each of us, first, while we were still sinners, Christ loved us and died for us.
*What Jesus wants when He saves you, is you.
*What Jesus wants when He redeems you, is you.
*What Jesus wants when He sends you into the “fields ripe unto harvest”, is you!
