He tells these fishermen that he will make them both a fisher of men. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%209:23&version=NIV 2009-10-02T15:23:08-05:00 Following Jesus isn't always easy--in fact, it often requires us to go against the grain of our natural human impulses. The work of loving Jesus and acting righteously is an everyday struggle of denying our own desires. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2016:24-25&version=NIV 2009-09-17T15:30:00-05:00 In the Kingdom of God anyone who wants to save their life must first actively try to lose their life. This means that one has to closely examine and get rid of all the sin in their life. By doing this they will find a new life in Christ. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2016:24&version=NIV 2009-09-03T14:16:52-05:00 The decision to follow Christ isn't something to make lightly--it means "taking up our cross" and committing to follow Jesus wherever he leads.
