Jesus said to His disciples, "Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24 NIV)
Jesus calls us to take up a cross and die. Not someday when we take our last breath, but to die to ourselves today…
Bruce Thielemann is an author, he wrote these words, “Please don’t say anything to me about tomorrow. Tomorrow is a word the Bible does not know. The Holy Spirit’s word is “today.” The Bible says, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 3:15). And Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 6:2, “For God says, ‘At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.’ Indeed, the ‘right time’ is now. Today is the day of salvation.”
Today is the day of salvation. Don’t say tomorrow. The word is “today.”
