Verse from Luke

“耶稣又对众人说：「若有人要跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。”

路加福音 9:23 

“And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”

Luke 9:23 

His path was one of self-denial and suffering, which can be hard to follow. But to be His effective disciples, we too are invited to put aside selfish desires and pick up spiritual burdens daily—serving others first instead of ourselves, for example—as we closely follow Him.

It’s quite a sight, this humbling, close walk with God. Following His lead, and staying so close, we can appear with Christ as one. Then others won’t see us, they’ll see Him.

Our lives are a window through which others can see Jesus.
