The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to encourage the family of Four Mile Church to eat God's word on a more regular basis; to be nourished and fortified. Mile markers help you to know how far you have come and how much further you have to go. God's word is like a mile marker. My prayer is that this simple blogg helps you to partake in God's word and prayer on a more regular basis.



Please share your insights and revelations if you think they may encourage another brother or sister in Christ.

Following Jesus - Thursday, April 29th

John 9: 23-27 - Take up your cross.


23 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? 26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."

Questions

1. Is following Jesus a one time decision?

2. What might loosing our life for Jesus look like today?

3. What might God be asking you to deny yourself of in order to gain more of Him?

Prayer

Ask God to show you what you're being asked to deny so that you can have more of Him. Ask God to give you the strength to pick up your cross daily and follow Him. Thank God for his mercy and grace.
