The Need for Followship:
Followers of Christ Make Selfless Sacrifices

“What’s in it for me?” It is easy to look at life through the lens of that question… to make decisions based on perceived personal benefit. Perhaps at times we look at Christianity through that lens, wondering what we will gain from following Christ. “What’s in it for me?” Jesus’ first disciples asked that question. They hoped following Christ meant they would gain prestige and honor. They assumed following Christ would make life in this world easier. But it doesn’t work like that. Because followers of Christ are called to sacrifice for the well-being of others.

“What’s in it for me?” Everything! Because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, followers of Christ have the peace of his forgiveness. Followers of Christ have the joy of meaningful purpose. Followers of Christ look forward to an eternity of glory in Christ’s heavenly Kingdom. In Spirit-wrought gratitude, followers of Christ make selfless sacrifices with joy.
