CALLED OUT To Give Up Everything

As this rag-tag group of disciples called the church sets out to continue the work of Jesus on the earth by actually being his continued presence in the world, it does not take long to realize that the call to live Jesus’ life is also a call, for some, to give their lives as He did.  This is sobering and quite hard to grasp – but life as ones who are “called out” by Christ means that we hold every aspect of our lives with open hands in obedience – even our lives, themselves.
