Jesus Demands All!

"The discomfort of the Christian life rests largely in its all-inclusiveness. If Jesus were but one part of our lives and the remainder of our lives was at our personal disposal, it would all be much less costly for us. But this is not so. Because God became man in Jesus Christ, all life is the sphere of our obedience and in all life we have to seek first the Kingdom of God."

Joost de Blank (1908-1968) Anglican Archbishop of Capetown, South Africa

"Love so amazing, so divine, demands my life, my soul, my all." Issac Watts (1674-1748)
