My friend Chris is an amazing copier salesman.
He makes an average of 240 phone calls a day in an industry
that averages 30. He wakes up early and goes to bed late. He wins awards. He
gives speeches. He’s a millionaire. When it comes to copiers he’s all in.
The temptation for you and me to do 20 mediocre things
versus 6 great things is huge.
Most of us don’t do it.
Yet it doesn’t mean we can’t.
Each one of us has the ability to go all in on our
relationships, our careers, our families, our hobbies, and most importantly,
all in with Jesus.
In Sunday’s gospel we will hear the story of rich people
putting lots of money into the temple treasury and about one woman who gave her
last cent. We will hear Jesus commend this woman because she was the only one
who went all in.
Jesus is looking for people to go all in.
What are we waiting for?
What’s holding us back?
What does this look like in our lives?
Isn’t it time we go all in?
Isn’t it time we go all in?
