Commitment - John 15:13
Jesus
said, "Greater love has no man, that he lay down his life for his friends".
In John 10:18 Jesus also said, "No man has power to take
my life, I lay it down willingly". This is COMMITMENT!
Many
people are committed to different things, even to the point of risking
their life: For country, family, friends, job, money, etc. But Jesus only
asks us to die to our own selfish desires and lusts, and to LIVE for Him.
We
have friends that are preaching and witnessing for Jesus in dangerous parts
of the world today. And I ask you, and myself, how many, that call
themselves Christians, are willing to lay down their lives for the Gospel
of Christ?
When
someone says "Life isn't worth living anymore", perhaps they don’t have
a cause worth dying for. It only makes sense to give up what you
can not keep, to gain what you can not loose!
