“THE COST OF TRUE SERVICE”

Luke 9:23 — “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”

Holy service requires sacrifice that is not always easy. The altar of sacrifice is not a place of comfort, but a place of surrender. It involves denying self and laying down personal desires.

To live as a sacrifice means giving up what competes with devotion to God. It may require changes in relationships, priorities, and pursuits. Service to God demands the whole life, not just a portion.

The world may see this as wasteful, but it is worshipful. To give one’s life fully to God is not loss, but obedience. It reflects the worthiness of the One being served.

Christ gave His life fully, and those who follow Him are called to do the same. This sacrifice is not occasional, but daily.

Call to Action
Deny yourself and follow Christ daily. Give your life in full devotion to the One who is worthy of all service.
