Read John6:60,66 "When many of his disciples heard it, they said,"This teaching is difficult; who can accept it"?.....Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him."
Hundreds of people followed Jesus....but many of them went back....why?
They started their journey with full of expectations.....self interests...
Follow Jesus......without any self interests....hidden agenda.......
Follow Jesus......with commitment....and conviction....
Follow Jesus...without any human calculations.....
Follow Jesus...with great passion...
Follow Jesus....without any compromise towards evil.....
Follow Jesus....with courage and boldness...we may face Goliaths.....
When we follow Jesus......
leave behind the most precious things.......
Get ready to face challenges....
Get ready to hear harsh words...
Be dynamic.....don't be static in our thoughts, words and praxis(action)
Think about the people around us....people who are in poverty, homeless....
Engage with discriminated.....powerless.....embrace them...empower them.....
Forces of death seems to be victorious.....
But real victory is the right of the genuine and committed followers of Christ.....
While we follow Jesus......see how Jesus walks...
He travelled the less travelled roads..
His teachings was different....
He was a pilgrim with less luggage....
He was homeless....he was away from luxury....
But his words were like...a fire....we could hear his commitment in his words....
Question is...are we ready to follow him.....HIS TEACHING IS DIFFICULT....
