Christians are Disciples of Christ Jesus. The word disciple means, learners; they are called to be pilgrims. Living in preparation towards another earth, that which would be pure, loving, without pain, and tears. Therefore, Jesus’ disciples are single-minded and focused towards the quest thereby taking the road called “Narrow Way.”  However if the disciple for any moment should look way from the “cross” which marks the spot, they shall find themselves on the other road called, “Broadway.” For that reason a disciple is like a soldier on duty who doesn’t get caught up in making deals at the marketplace. He concentrates on carrying out orders. It is similar to the diligent farmer who gets the produce. So should a Christian who loves Jesus must keep reminding themselves that:

If we die with him, we’ll live with him;
If we stick it out with him, we’ll rule with him;
If we turn our backs on him, he’ll turn his back on us;
If we give up on him, he does not give up—
for there’s no way he can be false to himself.

Despite our current professions, Christians are called to first be Christians wherever they are at; so if you are a lawyer, pastor, cleaner, etc. We are to be Christians first and living according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The authority of our faith should go above that of our employer or any other opposing authority.

You will be mocked, ridiculed, and persecuted!

In 1 Timothy 5:6,  “But they that live in pleasure is dead while they live.” Therefore we can deduce that the person who lives for pleasure is dead despite them even looking alive. Our faith goes above trying to maintain our lifestyles. Christianity is a lifestyle and not a commodity.
