Luke 14:33 - Jesus Our All in All.

Luke 14:33 (NKJV) So likewise, whoever of 
you does not forsake all that he has cannot be 
My disciple.  

Luke 14:33 (AMP) So then, any of you who 
does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, 
give up, say good-bye to) all that he has cannot 
be My disciple.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

Lord of All
   It was George Bernard Shaw who said, 
'There are two sources of unhappiness in life. One 
is not getting what you want; the other is 
getting it." 
   This statement reminds me of the account 
in Matthew 19 of the rich young ruler who came 
to Jesus seeking answers. Here was a man who, 
of all men, should have been content and 
fulfilled. He had great influence and affluence. Yet in 
spite of all his accomplishments, there was 
something missing in his life. He asked, "Good 
Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have 
eternal life?" 
   Jesus told him, "If you want to enter 
into life, keep the commandments.' Jesus was not 
implying that by keeping the Ten Commandments, a 
person would be saved. Rather, Jesus held the Ten 
Commandments up as a mirror to show this man his sin. 
   The ruler replied, "All these things I 
have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?" 
   I think Jesus probably smiled at this. He 
saw what this man was really all about. So He 
took it up a notch and said, "If you want to be 
perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, 
and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, 
follow Me." 
   Jesus knew the problem with this young 
ruler was that possessions had possessed his soul. 
But Jesus just as easily could have said 
something completely different to someone else. What 
is really holding someone back from Christ and 
from further spiritual progress can vary from 
person to person. 
   We would do well to come before Jesus and 
ask, "Lord, is there anything in my life that is 
getting in the way of my relationship with You? 
[Every Day with Jesus by Greg Laurie] 

COMMENTARY

   In giving ourselves to God, we must 
necessarily give up all that would separate us from Him. 
Hence the Saviour says, "Whosoever he be of you 
that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be 
My disciple." Luke 14:33. Whatever shall draw 
away the heart from God must be given up. Mammon 
is the idol of many. The love of money, the 
desire for wealth, is the golden chain that binds 
them to Satan. Reputation and worldly honor are 
worshiped by another class. The life of selfish ease 
and freedom from responsibility is the idol of 
others. But these slavish bands must be broken. We 
cannot be half the Lord's and half the world's. We 
are not God's children unless we are such 
entirely.  
   There are those who profess to serve God, 
while they rely upon their own efforts to obey His 
law, to form a right character, and secure 
salvation. Their hearts are not moved by any deep sense 
of the love of Christ, but they seek to perform 
the duties of the Christian life as that which 
God requires of them in order to gain heaven. 
Such religion is worth nothing. When Christ 
dwells in the heart, the soul will be so filled 
with His love, with the joy of communion with 
Him, that it will cleave to Him; and in the 
contemplation of Him, self will be forgotten. Love to 
Christ will be the spring of action. Those who feel 
the constraining love of God, do not ask how 
little may be given to meet the requirements of 
God; they do not ask for the lowest standard, but 
aim at perfect conformity to the will of their 
Redeemer. With earnest desire they yield all and 
manifest an interest proportionate to the value of 
the object which they seek. A profession of 
Christ without this deep love is mere talk, dry 
formality, and heavy drudgery. SC44,45
