Jesus called His disciples and started teaching them before sending them out. Why were His words so hard to receive? What is the hardest thing for you to do as a disciple of Jesus today? I know many people try to create loopholes or easier routes around the truth so they don't have to think about what Jesus taught. I encourage you not to be distracted by deceptive thoughts that deny Jesus' words which were given to Him by His Father in Heaven. Press into the truth, don't avoid it or deny it.
