Luke 9:20-26. The world is full of get-rich-quick scams. Most of us at one time or another have been pulled into the pyramid schemes web of lies. I know for sure someone made money, it just was not me. Today, in our tech-savvy world, we are all suffering the frustration and wrath of phone scammers trying to take advantage of the uninformed and at a great cost to many. God help us! So many desire all the things this world offers them in money, power, prestige, and fame and are willing to do whatever they must to have it. They will lie, cheat, steal, and even kill if they think it will help them succeed where others have failed. But in the end, all those things will not satisfy their human need for a relationship with the Creator. Yet for most of them, their deep love of the world and worldly possessions have blinded them to their need for a savior of any kind. (1 John 2:15-17) In fact, their desires and actions are the things that will actually separate them from God in the end. (Is 59:2) The disciples of Jesus however are called to a different type of journey. One that is not rich with the things of this world but full of selflessness and worldly denial in order to know and follow Jesus. (Luke 9:23) They choose to live and love just, as He lived and loved, and are willing to follow Him not only in life but in death for the glory of God. So what are we living for? What are we willing to die for?
