We can look at this like driving a car with
the automobile representing our lives. Four steps:
- We
see Jesus through the window but no contact
- We
ask Jesus in to the car but put him in the back seat
- We
have Jesus move to the front and let Him be our “co-pilot”.
- We
let Jesus take the wheel and control our lives
Matthew
16:24-26 - Then
Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny
himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever wants to
save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. 26What
good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
Jesus
take the wheel! Amen?
