Day 1: The Cost of Discipleship
Day 1: The Cost of Discipleship Reading: Matthew 16:24-26, John 19:38-42
Devotional: Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus risked everything to honor Jesus after His crucifixion. They were secret disciples, but in this moment, they stepped out in faith, potentially sacrificing their status, wealth, and safety. Their actions remind us that following Christ often comes at a cost. Today, reflect on what you might be holding back from God. Are there areas of your life where you're still a "secret disciple"? Ask God for the courage to fully commit to Him, even when it's difficult or unpopular. Remember, the rewards of discipleship far outweigh any worldly losses.
