disciple or executioner

Henri Nouwen wrote that as Christ rode into Jerusalem to announce the good news, that He "knew that He was going to put a choice before them: Will you be my disciple, or will you be my executioner?" As His disciples living the life of the Kingdom, I think our lives should demand a reaction from those around us. It should cause those that meet us to ask more about Jesus or reject us because of Him.
