Song # 1960.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Mark we read in chapter 8 that Jesus tells the people in the crowd, and His disciples that they cannot be part-time Christians, because there is no part-time heaven. He says that anyone who is ashamed of Him and His words, He will be ashamed of them when their time on earth comes to an end and they have to face Him on their judgement day.
Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples and said “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mark 8:34). “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the Gospel will save it” (Mark 8:35). “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” (Mark 8:36). “Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:37). “If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the Holy Angels” (Mark 8:38).
Thought for today: Jesus said “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).
Thought for the future: “no-one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
