The call to follow Jesus is a call that includes suffering for His name and for His Kingdom. It’s a call that requires us to opt for courageous risks not safety. It’s also a call that produces incredible joy and rewards in this life and the life to come. As Jesus said in Matthew 19:29 – “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name’s sake, shall receive many times as much, and shall inherit eternal life.”
