It wasn’t long after my wife and I decided to plant our first garden that the principles of commitment soon arose again. What I discovered is that no matter what we decide to pursue in life, there will be obstacles. You will have to prioritize in order to make those things in your life happen that are worth pursuing. There will be a million and one reasons not to do that thing, whatever it is.
Some obstacles will be out of your control. Other times you will prioritize something else as more important, but what I have found is that anything worth doing is worth sacrificing to obtain.
Getting Dirty
We decided it was time to lay other things aside and get to work on getting that garden growing in the backyard. Some planning was necessary:
Where did we want to plant?
What part of the yard received enough sun to sustain a garden?
What did we want to plant?
How much?
Once these decisions were made the work began. We needed to clear part of the yard for gardening. If you have ever turned part of a yard into a garden you know how much work is needed to put in and it can be back breaking!
- The grass must be pulled up and disposed of
- The ground must be turned over
- and turned over again
- and turned over again
- Rock, weeds, grass, etc... must be pulled out and disposed of
- A fence put up to keep out dogs, etc...
- Rows raked out for the planting
- Seeds sown in the ground
- Water, Water, Water
It was hard, sweaty, and dirty work, but so worth it. Once the seeds were in the ground I felt relief. I had done my part, the soil was well prepared, the garden protected, and the seeds carefully chosen. All they would need now is water and the Lord’s blessing, shortly I expected to see seedlings sprouting from the ground.
I certainly did, but that’s not all I saw...
Weeds and grass also made their way through the soil looking for the sun. My work wasn’t done!
About once or twice a week I headed out to the garden with a hoe in hand to break up the soil some more, pull weeds, and give the plants the best possible chance of unleashing their fruit. I also inspected the plants for bugs or any other outside influence that might limit their capacity to produce abundantly or affect the quality of the fruit. Instead of being irritated and bothered by this work I found it energizing and rewarding!
As I tended the garden so many Biblical concepts became crystal clear in my mind. I found the time refreshing and invigorating. Was it easy? No, but understanding what principles were at work and taking the time in the garden to think and focus on the Lord made the time fly by. There is a reason so many principles are taught in the Bible using gardening illustrations. It is how God illustrated His works in the hearts and minds of men and women.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Letting Go
The ground my garden was going in had remained untended for so long that a lot of work had to be done if this ground was going to yield anything. I could not have simply gone out into the yard, put some seed on the ground without preparing the soil, and expect anything to grow. The same is true of our lives. In order to be fruitful, we have to let go of the past, tend to the present, and prepare for the future.
Let’s face it, we have all done things in life that we are ashamed of. Some of the Bibles greatest heroes used their failures in the past as a stepping stone to greater things. Instead of allowing their circumstances to dictate their future, they simply accepted their past and moved on in their quest with God. Acceptance is very simply acknowledging that what’s done is done. It cannot be redone. It cannot be changed. In order to move on we must own it, accept it, and then move forward. It is not Christ who would keep you in your chains of the past, it is Christ who would set you free.
It must have been a horrific scene. Stephen, “full of faith and power,” who just hours before had been going about his appointed job of distributing food for the fledgling Christian community, was now being dragged out of the city. Encircling him, the mob now began to pick up rocks and hurl them at him. Stephen was being punished for the sin of blasphemy and the penalty for that sin was death by stoning. Stephen had dared say Jesus was the Son of Man, standing at God’s right hand. Collecting coats as more people dropped in to hurl rocks at Stephen, Saul (later Paul) is recorded as being completely in agreement with the murder. Later, we find out that the killing of Stephen just whetted Saul’s appetite for such acts, “he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.” Saul was zealous in his persecution, we learn that he was “yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord.” So consumed with blood lust against this tiny sect a penitent Paul would later confess that he persecuted the church of God and sought to destroy it. His hatred for Christians was so well known that after being instructed by the Lord to go and get him, Ananias reminded the Lord that it was this Saul who was doing “much evil” to the church.
So it is with that context you can understand Paul’s encouragement to a small church:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Phillippians 3:13-14
If God can forgive a man like Paul, and then use Paul the way He did, God can most certainly forgive and use you! Lay down the past, put it behind you, cover it with the grace of Jesus Christ, and move forward to claim the prize for which God has called you. Acceptance is taking a look at where you are at this point in your life, realizing that you are a sum total of everything you have done and what has happened to you, and accepting it. You don’t have to like it, Paul didn’t like his past, but he accepted it. He could not change it. Once you’ve accepted things are as they are, then you can move on. Acceptance is the 1st step to rebirthing your life.
Make A Decision
Once you’ve accepted the past, it’s decision time. What will you do different in the future? How will you change the direction of your life? What will you focus your time, effort, and money on moving forward? You will need someone big enough to conquer your demons, cover your offenses, and bring victory into your life. There is only one Person big enough for the job, the Lion of Judah!
Jesus entered into the life of just such a person. Jesus used her to loosen the soil so His seed could take hold.
Jesus had been teaching in a heavily Jewish part of town and the Pharisees could see that His message was taking root. As a result many were being baptized, even more than John the Baptist. As a result the Pharisees began to try and divide those that were there and arouse opposition to the message of Jesus.
Jesus leaves Judea for the time being and takes His message to Galilee. Galilee was heavily populated with Gentiles, on the way sat Samaria. This region was so despised by Jews that they often took another route to Galilee. Jesus, perhaps sensing that His message was already being rejected among the Jewish religious establishment, took the direct route through Samaria.
You probably remember the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. The story has such impact because it tells the story of how a despised Samaritan man stops to help a Jewish man whose life hung in the balance. In the story a couple of Jewish religious types walked on by as their brother lay half dead, bleeding and naked by the side of the road. It was only a Samaritan, whom the Jews hated and called “dogs,” that stopped and helped the man.
Once Jesus reaches Samaria, he stops at a well that Jacob had left to his son Joseph. Jesus, hot and tired from a long day’s journey sits down by the well. Here, a woman enters the scene, but not just any woman. This woman has lived a rough, and by all appearances, an unrighteous life. She has been married five times, and is currently living with a man that is not her husband.
In one of the most memorable conversations of all time Jesus reveals to the woman that He is "living water." (John 4) He goes on to offer her, a Gentile, eternal life if she would accept the gift before her. Jesus goes on to say that a time will come when where you worship does not matter, only how you worship- “in spirit and in truth!” The woman still not fully comprehending who is before her, acknowledges that one day the Messiah will come and explain everything. It is then Jesus fully reveals Himself to her as the long awaited Messiah (appointed one).
The woman at the well became so excited that she forgot the reason she was there in the first place, she left her water jar at the well, and immediately went into town spreading the Word! The people began coming out to meet Jesus, and on that day many of the despised, oppressed, and sin laden met their Savior, and believed in Him. Many places that Jesus visited, taught, and performed miracles could not wait to be rid of Him, but not this place. Where the need was great, Jesus was greater! They wanted more. They asked Him to stay, and He did.
Never let anyone tell you that you are not good enough for Jesus to save. Never let anyone tell you that your life is too sinful to be wiped clean by the blood of Jesus. Never let anyone tell you that Jesus can’t use you. It is a lie and the Bible exposes the lie. This woman stands as a testament for all time that Jesus came “to seek and to save that which was lost.”
The Samaritan woman at the well had to make a decision on that day. She chose wisely and the rest is His-story! What will your decision be today? Will you put behind the sins of the past and walk in newness of life towards Jesus Christ? Will you drink in the living water? Accept your past, own it, but don’t dwell in it. What’s done is done. It is what it is. It cannot be changed, but it no longer has the power over your future. Accept Jesus, He can cover the vilest of pasts, and purify you as you walk into a new and glorious future! Deciding is the 2nd step to rebirth.
Forgiveness and Restitution
I’m sure you know the words...
Zacchaeus was a wee little man
And a wee little man was he
He climbed up in a sycamore tree
For the Lord he wanted to see
And as the Savior passed that way
He looked up in that tree
And He said, “Zacchaeus, you come down!
For I’m going to your house today
For I’m going to your house to stay”
...but seriously, what a sight it must have been. Jesus is coming through Jericho on his third and final trip to Jerusalem. He had been through twice before and so far not a word from the local tax collector. Tax collectors were a notorious bunch. They were known for extracting far more than was demanded and living in excess on the rest. The people didn’t like them and as far as honor goes, they had none!
This particular tax collector is identified as an evil one indeed, “And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.” His name was Zacchaeus.
As Jesus neared Jerusalem and passed by Jericho He would need a place to stay. The crowds were enormous. Emotions were riding high and expectation was reaching a fever pitch. The people wanted an earthly kingdom with Jesus as King, Jesus reminded them, using Zacchaeus, why He came.
Zacchaeus, being short, was unable to see Jesus over the crowd. Apparently, looking around, he saw a sycamore tree and being industrious, climbed on up. As Jesus walked by, He called for Zacchaeus to come on down, and as the song goes, He needed a place to stay. Needless to say, this turn of events made no one happy. They could not believe that Jesus would stay at such a man’s house! This man epitomized everything that was wrong- he was greedy, selfish, prideful, and hurt others.
What I find incredible in this story is that Zacchaeus wasted no time feeling sorry for himself, or making excuses for why he had done certain things. In addition, he didn’t try and defend himself, I think this is critical. Many times we will make excuses for our actions or things we have done. What we must realize is that attitude actually slows down the process. In the presence of Jesus there were, and are, no excuses. Feeling sorry for yourself only adds to the hurt. Zacchaeus owned his past, let it go, and allowed himself the forgiveness that only Jesus could bring.
The conversion of Zacchaeus is swift, complete, and inspiring. No doubt while people are still reminding him of his past by shouting what a sinner he was, Zacchaeus immediately began setting things right!
"Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold."
Luke 19:8
Zacchaeus didn’t stop with saying, “I’m sorry,” right on the spot he started making amends. He gave half of everything he owned to the poor, and he restored fraudulent earnings with an abundant amount of interest over and above what was owed. According to Mosaic law he was only required to pay double, instead taking a que from the lavish grace of Jesus Christ, he restored fourfold what was stolen! This man truly had been forgiven, and his actions mirrored the inward transformation that was taking place.
When looking in the face of love, Zacchaeus wasn’t concerned with what the law required, Zacchaeus was compelled by love! The acts of forgiveness and restitution are themselves driven by a desire to love as Christ loves us.
Forgiveness is liberating, breath-taking, and life changing. Restitution makes right what was done wrong, and points to the risen Savior who alone has the power to grant forgiveness of sins. Jesus cleans the slate so you can start brand new. You show the Lion your past and He will respond by proclaiming your future! Forgiveness and Restitution are the 3rd and 4th steps to re-birthing your life.
Success Re-defined
There have been many sermons, books, and songs written about Jesus Christ. Sadly, many of them have missed the point entirely. Instead of seeing the suffering Servant of God on mission, they see someone who can grant them power, wealth, notoriety, or whatever else they might aspire too. Many have come to Jesus under the wrong terms and wonder why they seem to miss His power in their life. Seeking greatness, James, John, and their mother, receive a martyrs answer.
Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matthew 5:20-28
Jesus begins by reminding them what He had just shared about how He will be sentenced to die; “to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him.” Jesus then shares with them that they too will suffer a martyr’s life and death.
There is not much difference between the 1st century view of success and power to that of the 21st century. Our leaders tend to flaunt their authority and lord it over us as well. In Matthew 23:1-12, Jesus paints a vivid picture of what this looks like.
- Those in authority love to sit in the places of honor
- Those in authority often do not practice what they preach
- Those in authority love telling others what to do, but often won’t lift a finger to do it themselves
- Those in authority love for others to see them
- Those in authority love to dress well
- Those in authority demand to be treated with respect
- Those in authority love their lofty titles
- Those in authority hate to serve anyone else
I think one of the main points here is stop keeping score and don’t concern yourself with the things this world admires and aspires to. Many people come to faith with a new friend in Jesus without realizing that Jesus’ definition of success is radically different than the one they hold. When you come to Jesus, your definition of success has to change too! The very act of aspiring to a certain position in life, a coveted title, or financial gain is in itself contrary to Jesus Christ.
Consider:
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Phillippians 2:5-11
Jesus did not come seeking the things of this world, but came to serve, this should be the heart of the success you seek as well. A heart totally in the will of God, will seek the things of God, and this will necessitate a radical change in thinking. Consider the sequence of events that led up to Jesus overturning the tables in the Temple:
- Matthew 18.1-5- When asked who will be the greatest in heaven Jesus called a little child over to Him and explained that a child has no interest in such things, we must be humble as a child.
- Matthew 18.8-9- Value the things of God over your own body.
- Matthew 18.10-20- God doesn’t neglect those that go astray, all are important to Him, and He will go great lengths to bring them back into a right relationship with Him.
- Matthew 18.22-35- Jesus tells us to forgive repeatedly, just as we have been forgiven, no matter how much they have sinned against you, forgive them.
- Matthew 19.1-12- The reasons for a man to divorce his wife in the time of Jesus had grown since the time of Moses, Jesus reasserts the definition and reason for marriage.
- Matthew 19.13-15- Even those the world considers insignificant have great worth to God. Make sure you don’t look down on anyone.
- Matthew 19.16-26- A life yielded to the Lord gives God reign over everything in their life, even those things that are valued greatly. There is nothing you can sacrifice that is unreasonable, Jesus called us to lose our life in order to find it.
- Matthew 19.27- 20.1-16- God will reward our service to Him, but it is not our place to keep score. God rewards and pays generously. As His disciples let us rejoice that we work for such a gracious Owner. Beware though, God does not bless as the world blesses, a heart in tune with God will recognize and receive the blessing with thanksgiving, and not disappointment, that we didn’t get what we wanted.
- Matthew 20.20-34- As we discussed earlier, success as the world defines it, i.e. a lofty title, big money, or lots of power, are not how God defines success. A humble disposition, a willingness to serve, putting others first, and a loving heart are what God seeks in us.
- Matthew 20.1-11- Jesus didn’t ride into Jerusalem on a chariot with a team of horses, He rode in “meek, and sitting upon an ass.” (KJV)
- Matthew 21.12-16- The temple barons had forgotten the reason for the temple, and had turned it into a money making enterprise. Instead of a house of prayer, they had denigrated the temple into a house of thieves.
Risk and Commitment
Before many people will make a commitment they will ask an important question, how much will it cost? Jesus leaves no one in the dark about the costs of following Him, He wants you to know that this is not a commitment to be made lightly.
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Mark 8:34-38
The decision before you is between living and life. Everyone who has ever been born lives, few have life. Living is getting by, life is abundant. Living is temporary, we all must die, life is eternal. The Bible teaches us that in order to have life, we must die to living. In Romans 6.4, we are told how to quit living and embrace life.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:4
There is only one source of life- the Lion, Jesus Christ! If you would have life, you must die to living and allow Jesus Christ to breathe life into you. The risk is that it will cost you everything, however there is also risk in not following Jesus Christ, eventually you will lose everything anyway! When you die, you can’t take anything with you. You will leave the world just as you entered, with absolutely nothing.
The choice then becomes clear, will you be content with the world, which you will one day have to leave behind, and enter eternity apart from everything that is right and good because you are separated from God? Or will you die to living here, take the Lion, pick up your cross and your life, and follow Him? You might say, “do I have to choose, can I not have both?” That has been answered as well.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
James 4:4
A choice must be made between what the world has to offer you, which is fleeting, and what Jesus offers you, which is never ending. We are not promised tomorrow, so it is important that the decision not be delayed. Jesus loved you so much that He came and lived, suffered, and died for you. Yes, following Him will cost you everything, and in exchange He offers you a life with him. It is an abundant, eternal, and satisfying life. It is living water! Whatever satisfies you here on earth will soon wear off and in order to be satisfied again, you will need to get more, and probably in greater quantity. Jesus offers satisfaction that never wears or fades away, it satisfies time and time again!
The Lion also demands commitment from His followers. The passage didn’t stop with someone picking up the cross, we also have to carry it. It is a picture of absolute submission to the Father’s will. Jesus not only died for you, He lived for you as well. He spent 30+ years on this earth teaching, working, and providing an example for us.
There is a story recorded in the Bible about three people who want to follow Jesus. Before accepting them Jesus wants them to have a complete understanding of what following Him means. In His replies to them, Jesus reveals to us what Biblical commitment is all about.
1. And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
2. And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
3. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. Jesus said to him, "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Luke 9:57-62
His reply to the first man illustrates the regard for which Jesus held comfort. A commitment to Jesus will often take you to people and places that are not very comfortable. For some this means a different country, for others it means a part of the city they normally would not visit. Jesus did not consider comfort a priority, as a matter of fact, it appears He did not consider it at all! The priority of Jesus is “to seek and to save that which was lost,” this is our priority as well. Commitment to Jesus means leaving comfort behind.
Jesus calls the second man to follow Him, but the man’s reply reveals his first concern. Jesus demands to be the priority of our life. Jesus teaches us to honor our father and our mother, but not above Him. Our commitment to Jesus must be total and absolute, nothing should interfere with it. A commitment to Jesus is an obligation to keep Him first. This doesn’t mean that He won’t allow us to care for our loved ones, it does mean that we are called to advance the kingdom of God above all else.
The last man is willing to follow, but his cares reveal where his heart is. As a Lion follower our main focus is on Jesus, everything else follows. To put another way, our primary care is Jesus, everyone and everything else is secondary. This level of commitment is a necessary requirement for a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Also note that in the metaphor Jesus uses, the plow man is looking forward. In order to guide the plow and the ox in the right direction the farmer’s focus had to be on where he was heading, not where he had come from. As long as he was looking where he wanted to go everything stayed on track, however one look back steered everything off course. A steady and focused commitment on Jesus will keep your life headed in the right direction. Commitment is the sixth step to rebirthing your life.
Perseverance
Fred Smith once said, “the energy needed to retreat might have been just the right amount needed to succeed.”
To persevere is to continue despite opposition and discouragement. When we look back into the first century church we see a people clinging to a belief despite every reason to let it go. They were cussed, beaten, whipped, crucified, stoned, and thrown off buildings, and yet they persevered. How?
Writing from a jail cell in Rome to a tiny church started on his 2nd missionary journey, Paul encourages the believers first by thanking them, then by praying for them, and lastly by reminding them that what God starts, God always finishes!
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ
Phillippians 1:6
The work that has been done on your behalf did not begin on the day you were born, the day your parents met, or your grandparents decided to get married. God had you in mind from the very beginning, He set you apart, adopted you into the family, sent His Son into the world to live and die for you, and continues to shower His kindness upon you, until the day He returns for you! (Eph 1:4-8)
The ultimate goal is that as you persevere and continue in faith, you become more and more like Jesus Christ. As you read, study, pray, and work the Holy Spirit is there every step of the way encouraging, exhorting, and giving you the desire to please and obey Him. Growing in faith is a lot like learning to run, the more you exercise those muscles, the stronger they become.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
When you first begin training no one expects you to go out and run a marathon, and if you did you would likely faint after the first couple of miles. The same holds true of your faith. A little time spent in the word, a few moments spent in prayer, a few Sundays spent among other believers, and some work done in the name of the Lord will begin to build up your endurance. Before long you will be reciting scripture by memory, praying out loud, and sharing with others the faith that comes from a heart that has been nourished by “living water!”
It doesn’t happen overnight, but patient endurance will produce the miracle of perseverance.
In Acts 5 we read about some apostles who were healing and doing many good works in the name of Jesus. For their effort they were put on trial, flogged, and told never to teach in the name of Jesus again. Their response illustrates what perseverance is all about.
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”
Acts 5:41-42
They responded to persecution with even more perseverance! Sure, it would have been easier to water down the message, perhaps use God in their sermons instead of Jesus, it may have even saved their lives down the road, but at what cost? These men had seen, heard, and touched Jesus Christ. They had seen Him risen from the grave, and rise again to Heaven. These men knew who they were teaching about and no amount of persecution could ever discourage them.
Try to imagine the scene. After having been whipped they were bloody, bruised, and in excruciating pain, and yet they rejoiced. They had been disgraced by a public punishment, and they were full of cheer. They did not hang their heads in shame, instead they were happy to have suffered affliction “for his name.” After the punishment and public disgrace they persevered by continuing to teach and preach in His name! What a mighty example of perseverance!
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations
James 1:2
The same principle at work in these men of God can be at work in you and I as well. They were just men made of the same stuff. They had the same needs, faults, and frailties. There was nothing special about them that gave them the ability to persevere under a severe trial. They simply loved the Lord with heart, soul, and mind. They had given themselves totally to the Lion and He worked out His good will in and through them. What an exciting opportunity that awaits all who seek to know Him!
Before you give yourself this wholly to someone you would probably have some questions about them. The great news is that Jesus doesn’t leave you in the dark about who He is!
