I know hundreds of people who have left all to follow Him. Not the least of which is a dear friend who before Bible College years was working as a chef. Russ was offered the top job with the Tourist Hotel Corporation at one of the best hotels in NZ. But he told them no he wasn’t going to take it but rather was going to Bible College and then on to serve the Lord somewhere overseas. They said “No, Russ, you don’t understand, we are offering you the top job in the land. You can name your price.” He said, “No you don’t understand. The amount of money doesn’t hold the power. I am going to Bible College.” It’s crazy isn’t it, to turn your back on all that wealth? No it isn’t. It is more real and more certain than life itself, but it normally has a future component to it. Not in this case. The disciples were in the midst of the reality of it right at that moment.
