Jesus sends his disciples on a mission marked by danger, opposition, and fear. With good reasons to fear he points them to faith grounded in a greater perspective, a greater fear, and a greater love. This faith which professes Christ is marked by faithfulness to him which puts every other allegiance under him, whether that’s family, comfort, or ourselves. The one who demands everything from us is the one who gave his life for us and made peace by the blood of his cross. Following Jesus who is worthy is worth it because those who follow him find life.
