Two mental pictures come to mind: 1) our enemy seems to know we are destined to reign; and moves ahead of us to get us sidetracked and to forfeit our supreme calling in Christ Jesus. By pressuring us (as in my case) with numerous business propositions that are/or may be legitimate, useful and productive in their own right, yet not necessarily meant by the Lord for us. 2) The other picture comes from the 400 years of slavery endured by the Hebrew children, descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It seems that 400 years should have been sufficient for them to understand the concept of lordship. The Egyptians taught them obedience and sacrifice by the force of cruel taskmasters. Whereas, their Deliverer offered them a better deal that should not have been hard to accept (at least not from our comfortable perspective some 3,500 years later). Today, it seem that we need a combination of experience, revelation and understanding in addition to the written record in order to grasp the true meaning, the essence, the joy, the rewards and the significance of SURRENDER. Imagine, even our vocabulary is devoid of content… the words do not mean to us what it meant to those who suffered, bled and died simply to be loyal the man Christ Jesus.
