Christians are called to yoke themselves to Jesus. It’s not always going to be easy, we’re not promised a life of comfort. But we’re to learn of Him and see that life with Him is far greater than anything apart from Him.
There are times we can begin doubting who Jesus is because we’re basing our conclusions on our own experiences when things aren’t going our way. We have an unhealthy expectation of what we think Jesus should be doing for us. But as you put your faith in Him, you will experience His goodness and life-giving grace.
When God calls us to do His will, He will also equip and empower us with the means to do so. Through the life of Gideon, we see that we may be unqualified for the job, but as we walk in obedience and trust, He is the One who does the work through us.
Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. Though Jesus’ message is one of peace and forgiveness, it will naturally cause division between those who love Him and those who reject Him.
