In this episode I share from Luke 2:25-35.
Simeon a righteous man was promised by God he would NOT die until he witnessed the Messiah born!
He held Jesus in his arms and gave them (Mary & Joseph) a prophetic word over Jesus.
He then looked at Mary and said, “And a sword will pierce your very soul!”
As a mom. I can’t imagine.
Hearing that your son will someday be ridiculed, mocked, whipped and have a horrific crucitfition death!
The cost.
There is a COST to following Jesus.
The sword of truth is not easy.
It cuts, sharpens and ultimately brings us to the REAL of Jesus.
Life isn’t about US.
Our lives are here to pick up sword and carry out Gods truth!
Living for the world is COSTLY.
Living for Jesus is COSTLY.
What’s more expensive?
What’s less fulfilling?
Where eventually do END?
Count the cost and LIVE accordingly.
