Day 5: Die to Live, Imitate to Reflect
Reading: Matthew 16:24-26; John 13:34-35; Galatians 2:20
Devotional: Jesus did not offer a comfortable invitation. He said that if anyone would follow Him, they must deny themselves, pick up their cross, and follow. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote that when Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. This death is not the end. It is the doorway. Galatians 2:20 tells us that it is no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us. The life that follows self-surrender is far greater than anything self-preservation could produce. And when you live that way, the world takes notice. John 13:35 says that all people will know you are Christ's disciples by the love you carry. Die well. Live fully. Love sacrificially.
