Reading through to the end of Mark Chapter 8 today: The cost of choosing to follow Jesus!
Moving through to the end of Mark chapter 8 this morning, we come to another insightful passage that instructs our choices in regard to following Jesus:
1. A choice to truly follow Jesus requires a denial of self and an acceptance of hard trials.
Yes, real life consequences, now in the present. One must count the cost to follow Jesus!
2. A choice to follow Jesus that turns into being ashamed of Him has future consequences when He returns.
What kind of Jesus follower are you choosing to be?
Remember there are always consequences to your choices in life! Good and bad, pros and cons are the consequences for even good choices.
Look up and choose wisely!

Note: My present emphasis on choices in life has been influenced by a new friendship I have with a fellow indie author. I have now read four of her books. I highly recommend the following books by Connie Cook:
These books are very responsible priced for Kindle readers, and the paperbacks are well worth the cost. Connie writes with a realness of faith that is practical and profound at the same time. Must read in my opinion!
"Look Around!" is the perfect prequel to my devotional theology book, "HE IS! Knowing God through Fifty Scriptural Meditations." I will send anyone a free PDF of my book for the asking, message me!
