In the end, the Christian signed over the title of his home (his
heart) to Christ's safekeeping. The theme was obvious to
Munger’s listeners: We must love God with our whole
heart.
On more than one occasion, Jesus presented His disciples and
followers with situations in which they might have to
consider:
Am I willing to continue
following Christ with my whole heart?
After a particularly challenging teaching (John 6), many of
His
followers stopped following Him (verse 66).
Jesus turned to the twelve and asked if they, too, were ready
to turn away. Peter spoke for the group: “Lord, to whom shall
we go? You have the words of eternal life” (verse 68).
If the cost of following Jesus ever seems too high,
ask yourself Peter’s question: Where could you go
and find the words of eternal
life?
"My name, my heart, I would resign;
my soul into thy hands."
