Being a disciple of Christ, at its core, means that we must be willing to follow Jesus’ commands. We need to love the Lord, love one another, and share the Gospel message of love and forgiveness. Doing what Jesus commands may cause us to suffer, and we can’t confront that suffering with power or the desire to rule. We are called to serve; and our service can’t be done from afar. We aren’t called to simply watch as injustices occur in the world. We are called to action!
