His experience was not that of a super-Christian, but what we are all to seek. There is more worldliness in the church than there is of the church in the world. If Jesus deserves any of your love as the Son of God and the Saviour, he deserves it all. He deserves that all else will be subordinate to him in your life. Every thought, word and action is to be under the control of his Spirit and grace.
Grace is to reign to life eternal.
Take my life and let it be, consecrated, Lord, to thee. Jesus is worthy. He gave his all. He gave himself. Divine teaching enabled the thief on the cross to see through the blood and the sweat and the weakness and the shame around Jesus on the cross beside him.
