Therefore, this passage holds promise for those who are saved. If we choose to come to Jesus we cannot be holding onto anyone or anything else for our salvation. As the popular hymn suggests, All to Jesus I surrender. This includes family and friends. Jesus wants us to come to Him without hesitation.
Today s fast pace of life seems to bring about half-measures in many areas of our life.
We tend to have so many things cluttering up our lives that we only deposit a little of ourselves into each project. We simply can t follow that plan with Jesus Christ. Regardless of how much my kids may love me, one day I will be gone. Likewise, I can build an excellent relationship with my spouse, but that too is temporary. If you meet Jesus and forget Him, you have lost everything.
