John Piper on what it means to follow Jesus: If you follow Jesus only because he makes life easy now, it will look to the world as though you really love what they love, and Jesus just happens to provide it for you. But if you suffer with Jesus in the pathway of love because he is your supreme treasure, then it will be apparent to the world that your heart is set on a different fortune than theirs. This is why Jesus demands that we deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow him.From What Jesus Demands from the World (Crossway, 2006). Borrowing from the words of Jesus himself, Piper presents 50 unique aspects of Christian discipleship. This book would make a really nice Christmas gift for, well, anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to walk with Christ. You can buy it at a super discount here.
