If you’ve never had an encounter with Jesus, it’s not too late. Like with Paul, Jesus will show you how much you must suffer for His name. If you are not following Jesus, He will bring you to your knees for His name.

The "old" you must die and the "new" you will be resurrected. Is there real evidence that you are living a resurrected life? Have you been or are you being crucified like Jesus? Have you invited Jesus to live within you? Things may be going wrong, and you may be in the dumps. But you are not out. Know that you must die before you can rise to a resurrected life.
