And He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them and rose again (2 Corinthians 5:15)
It is believed that there were about 5,000 believers during the time of Christ. Among those believers, there were three types. The largest number of believers were those who came to Jesus only for salvation. They served Him little beyond coming to Him to receive salvation. A much smaller number, say 500, actually followed Him and served him. Then there were the disciples. These were those who identified with Jesus. They lived the life that Jesus lived. Each of these ultimately died in difficult circumstances. They experienced the hardships, the miracles, and the fellowship with God in human form.
If you had to say which group best represented your life, which one would you fall into? -the 5,000 who simply believed, the 500 who followed and sought to implement what they were learning from the Saviour, or the 12 who identified completely with the life and mission of the Saviour?
Lord Jesus has called each of us to identify with him completely. “This is how we know we are in Him whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. “ (1 John 2;5b-6).

Confession
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which now l live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.
