It’s never easy – this following of Jesus. If discipleship followed the way of convenience and comfort, the way would be crowded with more followers. But it’s not easy. Paul talks about his desire to become like Jesus and he says that he has to “press on”. As Lent deepens, the way grows more difficult. We are tempted to quit. We are tempted to relax. Carrying a cross is hard work. But we push on, following the leading of Jesus, and strengthened by His Spirit.
