Ramsey once said, “If we want to be thin we should do what thin people
do.” In other words, if we really want
to be healthy there is a price to pay, sacrifices that must be done. Many of us who desire to be more healthy
would love to wake up tomorrow morning having been completely transformed
overnight, with no effort or sacrifice on our own part. But that is not reality. Transformation takes effort, time, and
sacrifice, but many are not willing to pay the price.
After
teaching the crowd what they must believe and give up to follow him, Jesus
witnesses a mass exodus. The cost of
being his disciple was too great to many, so they left. Why did Jesus not stop them from
leaving? What about the price was so
high? What is the difficulty in following
Jesus? What encouragement is there in is
teachings for the true disciple of Christ?
Join us this week at ElmCreek Community
Church as we study what John 6:60-71 teaches us about the cost of being a
disciple of Jesus Christ and why that cost is too great for so many.
Striving to know Christ and make Him known,
Pastor Mark
