Real success is found in radical sacrifice. Ultimate satisfaction is found not in making much of ourselves but in making much of God. The purpose of our lives transcends the country and culture in which we live. Meaning is found in community, not individualism; joy is found in generosity, not materialism; and truth is found in Christ, not universalism. Ultimately, Jesus is a reward worth risking everything to know, experience, and enjoy.

And this is why Jesus came: to endure the holy wrath of God due us.

Jesus, Wrath, Follow Me

Accept Him? Do we really think Jesus needs our acceptance? Don't we need Him?

Jesus, Acceptance, Thinking

David Platt (2010). “Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream”, p.40, Multnomah

Jesus is no longer one to be accepted or invited in but one who is infinitely worthy of our immediate and total surrender.

Jesus, Surrender, Accepted

Christian, Jesus, Believe

Disciple making also involves teaching people to obey all that Christ has commanded us. Now some might say, "Isn't that what preachers are supposed to do?" And in one sense, the answer to this question is yes. God has clearly called and gifted some people in the church to teach his Word formally. At the same time, he has commanded every follower of Jesus to teach his Word relationally.

Jesus, Teaching, People

David Platt (2013). “What Did Jesus Really Mean When He Said Follow Me?”, p.46, Tyndale House

This extremely shocking and utterly revolutionary call is the essence of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus: we are not called to simply believe certain points or observe certain practices, but ultimately to cling to the person of Christ as life itself.
