Called to Follow: The Commitment of a Disciple

Text: John 8:30-47

There are many commitments that we may make in life, but there is none of greater importance than the commitment we make to Christ. Many claim to be committed to Jesus, but if we honestly evaluate the time we spend worshiping Him, talking to Him, learning from Him, and serving Him, we may find that our commitment isn’t as strong as we thought. In this sermon, we see that many religious leaders in Jesus’ day thought they were committed and close to God, but Jesus’ words revealed the truth of where they stood. I pray today that we each hear these words of Christ and examine our own lives to make sure that we are truly committed to Him. If we want to accurately examine our belief in Jesus, we need to simply evaluate one primary area – our commitment and obedience to His Word.
