Submit In To Glory

“Jesus today has many who love his heavenly kingdom, but few who carry his cross;  many who yearn for comfort, few who long for distress.  Plenty of people he finds to share his banquet, few to share his fast.  Everyone desires to take part in his rejoicing, but few are willing to suffer anything for his sake.  There are many that follow Jesus as far as the breaking of bread, few as far as drinking the cup of suffering;  many that revere his miracles, few that follow him in the indignity of his cross.”

 

Thomas a Kempis
