The size of the waves take your breath away. There’s still time to back out. After all, no-one is going to make you do it. You’ve come intending to ride one of those waves – you want it but the desire is mixed with fear and uncertainty. You know that this isn’t a game. You don’t flirt with life and death.
Are you committed or do you pull out? It’s your call.
Like the surfer in the video below may have felt as he stood on the beach, these thoughts and emotions are entirely appropriate if you are considering saying ‘yes’ to God’s invitation to you in the Gospel of Jesus. It is a big deal. The issues are of life and death. In becoming a Christian we surrender everything and follow Him.
Jesus said “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.” Matthew 16:24-25
It’s your call. Will you take the plunge?
