“ Jesus offers undeserved love, a love we don't deserve and can therefore never lose. ”
Jesus doesn't come asking if He can hang out with us. He commands us to follow Him. He has total authority and will settle for nothing less; He won't settle for being an accessory, an add- on, or a peaceful accompaniment to a nice life. No, He will rule and He will meddle.
~ Justin Buzzard
Jesus doesn't adjust to us, and He doesn't submit to our whims. We adjust to Jesus and submit to Him. Jesus is King, not an accessory.
To accept Jesus is to accept His total authority in your life.
His self-righteousness has prevented him from enjoying the grace all around him.
