I’m In Week 4 // Following Jesus Starts With a Step

I’m In Week 4 — Following Jesus starts with a step. When faced with a decision in your life, have you ever stopped to ask yourself this question: is it worth it or not? Maybe for you it was something simple, like trying to decide if you wanted that second helping of dessert or if you should purchase an expensive pair of shoes. Or maybe it was a bigger decision in your life, like whether or not you should end a friendship or make a choice in a relationship that you can’t take back. Though we typically know what the right or smart choice might be, sometimes we wonder if making that decision will really be worth it in the end. Sometimes a relationship with Jesus feels just like this, too. We know what God says about following Him—what choices we’ll have to make, habits we might have to change, things we might have to give—and we find ourselves wondering if it will be worth it in the end. The good news is that asking this question doesn’t make you any less in with God. In fact, some of Jesus’ own disciples probably asked themselves the very same thing before they followed Jesus! As we wrap up this series we’ll learn from Matthew, a tax collector that had a lot to lose, that taking that first step to follow God is always worth it in the end.
