The church has lost track of what Jesus came to earth for and just how far He went to secure it. He gave up heaven, intimate fellowship with His Father, He suffered and died in order to restore us to Himself: to make us holy. He didn’t come to give us good lives, easy lives or make us happy. For us to think that salvation will cost us anything less than our life is to consider ourselves above Him. This doesn’t necessarily mean dying a physical death for Him, although last century saw more martyrs for the faith than any century previous to it. This is about living a martyr’s life. We must be willing to give up the world in order to reach for heaven. We have to decide whether we really want Jesus or not. For some, it might mean death…for all it means persecution and hard times. This world hates Christ and it hates true Christians. Can you truly say that you are one of the hated?
