What Are You Willing to Risk?

Today's Verses are Acts 20:22-24
     And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
     Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
     But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

We have seen Ester, Job, and now Paul willing to risk all for the sake of Christ. For as Job said, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him."  Since Christ died for us, should we not be willing to do the same for him? Is not what Jesus has done for us, worthy of anything that we can offer him? Issac Watts testified in song that Christ is worth his soul, his life, his all. Can we say any less? Let us consider the cross of Jesus Christ, consider what we gain through it, then be willing to let him have anything he should ask of us, no matter the cost.

To God be the Glory
