Embrace the cross.
There is a popular slogan (very popular a couple of years ago, with wrist bands and t-shirts) that says: WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? When faced with a question or a choice, we ask ourselves what Jesus would do, and then do that.
A good question for me, before ending these 40 days, would be: WOULD I DO WHAT JESUS DID?
Would I walk and preach the Gospel even if people hated me and disagreed with me everywhere I went?
Would I speak for hours on the truths of God’s love and mercy?
Would I fast for 40 days (without cheat days)?
Would I forgive those who betray me, wash their hands off me, deny me?
Would I die a painful and agonizing death for you?
I say I am a Christian. And I love Jesus and everything about Him. And I ask myself what He would do, so that I may do it, too. But would I actually do what He did?
Would you?
