What you pay attention to get done. Following Christ is about focusing on Christ and the denying of self will be automatic. Focus is also saying no to others that detract. But if we focus on denying ourselves, we will feel the pains and it will be a struggle. If we focus on not sinning, we will likely succumb to sins. If we focus on doing the right things, we will pay no attention and will not have time for the wrongs.
Lessons:
Believers and followers of Christ will no longer do as freely as they like. We are to put Christ's will above our own will. The best is to accept Christ's will as our own will.
When we follow Christ, we automatically deny ourselves. The focus should not be on denying ourselves (which would be a struggle) but on following Christ )which would be a joy).
The value of Christ is higher than the costs we pay to follow after Christ.
Be bold to witness and testify for Christ.
But not easy to follow Lo
