Death First!
Let’s suppose that on January 1 you are flying over BC when the plane explodes.
Your body falls to the ground and you are dead on impact.
Before long a farmer
discovers your corpse.
There is no pulse, no heartbeat, and no breath.
Your body is cold.
You’re obviously dead.
So the farmer digs a grave, but by the time he places your body in the earth, it is way too dark to cover it.
Deciding he will finish in the morning, he returns home.
Then Jesus comes to you and says, “You are dead.
Your life on earth is over.
But I will breathe into you the breath of new life if you promise to do anything I ask and go anywhere I send you.”
Your immediate reaction may be, “No way!
That’s unreasonable.
It’s slavery.”
But then you realize that you are not in a good bargaining position, so you quickly come to your senses.
You agree.
Instantly, your lungs, heart, and other vital organs begin to function again.
You come back to life.
You are born again!
From that point on, no matter what Jesus asks you to do or where He asks you to go, you are more than willing.
No task is too difficult, no hours too long, no place too dangerous.
Nothing is unreasonable.
Why?
Because you have no claim to your life.
You are living on borrowed time, Christ’s time.
You died on January 1 in a BC hay field.
How does this story make you feel?
Would you make this deal with Jesus, if it actually happened to you like in the story?
What do you think about this quote, referring to the above story?
Because we all have this idea of what a follower of Jesus should be.
