Following Jesus Requires Real Commitment
What are you willing to do for love?
An instructor for the Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course shared with a class the major hang-up he had to get over before asking his wife to marry him. She had always felt a call to be a missionary. She had been clear with him since they’d begun dating that her passion for mission had not changed. So, he had reached a real sticking point – did he love her enough to uproot his life and move halfway across the world?
He was a believer and was an active member of his church. As he considered and prayed about this dilemma he had a realization. He put it this way, “I had made Jesus my Savior, but I had not yet made him my Lord.”
They did get married and went on to serve as missionaries in a Middle Eastern country for many years.
Following Jesus is more than just intellectual agreement with certain propositions about God. It is a commitment to let your life be defined by the Lord, King Jesus.
