The Truth Of Commitment

 When Jesus began to talk about  commitment, many walked away. Why? They only wanted the miracles -- the sensational. Not everyone can handle the truth of commitment.

John 6:66-67  From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

Peter answers for the group, expressing total commitment. His life had changed forever when he left his fishing nets to follow Jesus. Oh, he had a time of weakness, but he never walked away and the Lord restored Him to fellowship.

Once you’ve felt the powerful touch of Almighty God, walked in the light of His glory, and experienced His best;  you will never be satisfied with substitutes and imitations.

We should examine the level of our commitment to the Lord, to be sure that we are where God wants us to be. It may require confession of sin or a rededicated heart.
