A Reflection On Discipleship

When I want to leave everything behind to follow Jesus

The greatest adventure a person can have is to follow Jesus without hindrances. When we try to pick up the trappings of our old life to carry with us, we soon find out that we follow at too great a distance. Jesus urges us onward, calling us to leave all behind and focus our eyes entirely on Him. He calls us to a new way of life.

“Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.

Luke 5:27-28
