Mt 6:25 “Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, and
what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you
shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?”
A radical devotion to Christ is not easy… it’s not comforts,
health, wealth or prosperity in this life. Radical devotion to Christ risks all
these things exchange. But, in the end, such risk finds in Christ rewards
greater than life itself has to offer.
Every Christian should be both conservative and radical;
conservative in preserving the faith and radical in living it out in this life.
Knowing every Christian this side of heaven owes the Gospel to every person
this side of hell.
Jesus, the truth and purpose of the Christian faith is the
wildest, most radical person the world has ever known. Thus, the most radical
demand of the Christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the risen
and present Jesus Christ.
Radical faith calls one to live in truth that’s unafraid to
put oneself in situations where they will be in trouble if Jesus doesn’t come
through.
Radical faith calls for God’s interruption of self so that
we can join the purpose of our Saviour.
