Thought for Today: Wednesday March 01:

Yeshua was warning His disciples that it would be costly for them to follow Him. It would be costly because they would have to give up their own plans and goals. Because they must share in His rejection and death. It is then no wonder that [many of His disciples turned back and was no longer following Him] – John 6:66. The cost of following Yeshua today has not changed. We want to cling to our own plans while He says to let it go. We want to live for ourselves while He says we must live for Him. We want to live lives of pleasure and ease while He says we must follow Him to the cross.
