Matthew 10

"If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it." Matthew 10:39 (NLT)

Final Question...

Do I believe the reward found in Jesus is worth the RISK OF FOLLOWING HIM?

Living Radically Requires...

1. Seeing the GREAT NEED!
2. Going INTO THE DANGER!

*** Go as SHEEP into the danger!
*** Sheep are defenseless cowards who run into the danger!

    3.   Being BETRAYED,HATED,PERSECUTED!

Matthew 10:21-23 (NLT)

"Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12 (NLT)

Living Radically Is The Greatest Reward!

1.  His Sovereignty = OUR SAFETY!

Matthew 26-29 (NLT)

1.  His Love = OUR SECURITY!

Matthew 10:30-31 (NLT)

1. His Presence = OUR SATISFACTION!

Matthew 10:28 (NLT)

" For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better." Philippians 1:21 (NLT)

" And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die." Revelation 12:11 (NLT)

***do not be afraid!

*** fear god- not people!
