Apprentice 2 Jesus

“Holy Obedience” is a chapter in Thomas Kelly’s excellent book, A Testament of Devotion.

Some thoughts:

“There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way, but not the other half. They will give up possessions, friends, and honors, but it touches them too closely to disown themselves.” (Kelly is quoting Meister Eckhart.)

We have a high calling: “…commit your lives in unreserved obedience to him.”

We must be willing to step up to this commitment! There are few that do. Can we be some of those in this generation?

“…when such a commitment comes in a human life, God breaks through, miracles are wrought, world-renewing diving forces are released, history changes.”

We need to change history! We are called to change history. Unreserved obedience to God is that road to change.
