GO ALL THE WAY


Many people eagerly start out following Jesus Christ but very few are willing to go all the way and endure until the end. Jesus' disciples were also often tempted to leave Him. We read in John 6 when Jesus said to them:”If you do not eat My body and drink My blood” most of them wanted to leave Him. And Jesus said to the twelve:”Don't you also want to leave Me?” Peter said:”Lord, where will we go to? You have the words of eternal life.”
Even Peter himself swore, He said:”Lord I will go with You all the way, even until death, I will die for You” but he denied Jesus three times. When Jesus was led away to be crucified all His disciples deserted Him. He was all by Himself, all alone, they had all left Him. It was only afterwards, after they had received the Holy Spirit that most of them went on to die for Him.
If we do not go WITH Jesus and follow Him ALL THE WAY until the end, then it is all in vain. Jesus said:”Whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not worthy of Me, is not worthy of the kingdom of God.” Many people are only willing to go with Jesus up to a point, for a short while. When they have to choose between Jesus and friends, popularity and acceptance of men, they choose their friends, they deny Jesus. When they have to choose to obey Jesus they stop following Him. When they have to choose to be baptized in water, they refuse! When they have to choose between friends, their wife, their husband, their children, their job and Jesus then they deny Jesus. They turn away from Him. They go after the things of the world. They rather go for the pleasures of the world than to obey Jesus Christ. They rather go for Bible study and church activities than to LISTEN to Jesus, PRAY, GO where He sends them, DO what He tells them to do. They are not willing to follow Jesus ALL THE WAY.
Many believers are UNFRUITFUL. We can only be fruitful if we remain IN Christ, if we are LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT and if we DO what Jesus himself tells us to do.
Very few are willing to go all the way, to LISTEN and to OBEY until the end. If we are not willing to go WITH Jesus ALL THE WAY until the end then we are not worthy of Him and everything that we have done, everything that we have given up, up to that point, is a waste, its all in vain! If we don't go all the way we will not enter the kingdom of heaven, we will not have eternal life.
Are you willing to go all the way and to endure until the very end, even until death? If you are not willing to endure you won't make it!

May Jesus bless you

Go all the way

There is only one way to have eternal life and that is Jesus Christ alone. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. There is no other way, no book no road map. The Bible cannot take you to heaven. Other people cannot take you to heaven, no preacher, no church, nobody, only Jesus Christ. You need to KNOW HIM, the living God and you need to follow Him until the very end of your life. Jesus is alive. You get to know Jesus when you fall on your knees and you cry out to Him. You pray and you seek Him until you find Him and then you will know Him for real. He will write His laws in your heart, He will give His Spirit in you to guide you every step of the way but you need to follow Him and obey Him until the very end. Jesus said:”Follow Me.” Very few people did follow Jesus. Many people started following Him but very few of those stayed with Him until the end, even the disciples at times many of them left Him. At one stage He said to the twelve:”Don't you also want to leave Me?” And Peter said:”Lord, where will we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Jesus Christ Himself is the WAY. If you do not know Him for real and He does not know you for real, He will say to you:”Go away I never knew you.” You need to follow Jesus every day of your life until the very end. You need to pray and seek Him every day. He will speak to you, He will guide you but if you do not endure until the end and if you are not pleasing to Jesus YOU WILL NOT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. Without holiness, without utter obedience to Jesus Christ, you will NOT enter the kingdom of Heaven, you will NOT have eternal life. There is only ONE WAY, Jesus Christ. Do you know Him for real? Are you following Him or are you busy with religion. Jesus Christ alone is the way. You have to endure with Jesus until the very, very end. May Jesus bless you.
