“We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying.”
–A. W. Tozer
How soon we forget that the call to follow Jesus is the call to die. "Take up you cross," Jesus said. We want our comfort, our style of music, our kind of worship, and the joy of the Lord to follow our every move.
But that's not our calling. Our calling requires some kind of sacrifice, some kind of obedience, some kind of loss, some kind of death. There's a banquet to follow, but for now, in this life, the call is to die. And Jesus should not be the only one who dies. 0/
