“No Turning Back.” It’s an all-or-nothing decision. Jesus offered this choice to a rich young ruler - but not only did he turn Jesus down, he walked away saddened. He felt Jesus was asking too much. So what about us? Does Jesus ask too much? Is that what hinders us from being fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ? Or can we find the courage to leave it all behind and never turn back?
One of the great aspects of the Bible is that the people in it, are just that: people. They are flawed and imperfect, not the fictional “superheroes” that dominate today’s culture. These real people, with real problems had one important thing in common: an unwavering determination to live out the life to which God called them; regardless of circumstance and heartache. They lived by the motto “No Turning Back.” They are the heroes worth studying.
