Today’s devotional looks at Jesus’ clear call in Matthew 16:24 and reminds us that while the Christian life is filled with incredible blessings, it is not meant to be an easy or self-centered life. Jesus teaches that true discipleship requires denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Him. The Christian life is not about comfort or personal gain, but about living sacrificially for the sake of others and reflecting Christ to the world. Following Jesus means embracing hard obedience, trusting His example, and walking faithfully in His steps.
