You are called to surrender. Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).

Unfortunately, we live in a world that values personal feelings and desires more than objective truth. We've even changed our vernacular to accommodate our self-centeredness and ever-evolving relationship with the truth by calling it "my truth," as though truth changes depending on the person claiming to know it.

But when it comes to following Jesus--the One who called Himself the Truth--we don't get to curate our beliefs about who He is or what He taught based on what we're comfortable with.

In The Chosen - Book Five, you'll be challenged to surrender to the harder teachings of Jesus. Together, may we endure His words with ears that hear. May we be soberminded. And may we hold fast to the Truth, no matter how unpopular His teachings have become.
