The Cost to Others
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother,
and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. (John
19:25)
There is no Christianity without a cross, for you
cannot be a disciple of Jesus without taking up your cross. Crosses are
painful, they forever change your life, but sometimes the greatest cost will
not be to you but to those you love. You may be prepared to obey the Lord¡¦s
commands, whatever they are, because you¡¦ve walked with Him and know that His
way is best. Yet there will be those close to you who have not related to Jesus
in the same way and have not heard His voice as clearly.
Jesus understood that His Father¡¦s will for Him led
to a cross. The cross would mean a painful death for Jesus, and it would also
bring suffering to those closest to Him. Because of the cross, Jesus¡¦ mother
would watch in agony as her son was publicly humiliated, tortured, and
murdered. Jesus¡¦ aunt and close friends would witness His excruciating death.
His disciples would be scattered in terror and confusion in what would be the
longest, darkest night of their lives. Because of Jesus¡¦ obedience, there would
also be a cross for each of His disciples.
Obedience to your Lord¡¦s commands will affect
others (Luke 14:26). Don¡¦t refuse to obey what you know God is asking because
you fear the cost to your family will be too great. Beware lest you seek to
prevent those you love from taking up the cross God has for them. Don¡¦t ever
try to protect those you love by disobeying God. The cost of disobedience is
always far greater. Rather, look to Jesus, your model, and see what it cost
those around Him for Him to be obedient to His Father.
