Luke 14:28-29
Jesus tells a wise saying that if a man would build a tower, first he must count the costs to make sure he has sufficient resources to complete the project.
Did Jesus think about the massive project of bringing God's kingdom and righteousness on this Earth, working thru obedient believers? Jesus knew everything, so he knew! Two thousand years is a long time to wait (and work?) for the completion. And what are God's resources? He IS infinite, Maker of the universe, all- powerful, all- wise, all- knowing. His obstacles are the wavering hearts of even the most loyal followers. Is that true? Am I projecting my own uneven performance as a follower of Jesus onto all those who call themselves by Christ Jesus' name and whom God sees as His family and servants?
I remember hearing a few times a quote maybe from Dwight L. Moody where he said he knew God could accomplish so very much if God has just one person who is 100% sold out to God.
