From the Pastor’s Pen: “No one who put his hand to the plow, and look back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).
What does Jesus want from us? He wants total dedication, not halfhearted commitment. We can’t pick and choose among Jesus’ ideas and follow him selectively; we have to accept the cross along with the crown. Following Jesus has a cost, and each of us must be ready to serve, even when it requires sacrifice!
