Jesus is alive; He is not just a figure in history. And He calls us to follow Him. “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Who does He call? Anyone! We are talking about the radical inclusive call of Jesus to follow. Anyone means everyone. Anyone means you.
