My biggest stumbling block to answering the call to salvation had far more to do with a recognition of the autonomy I’d have to give up when calling Jesus my Lord. That’s true for all of us and that incessant need to be our own LORD makes it difficult for all of us to be faithful to Christ’s call to love people.
Christ, to those who meet the real Him in Scripture (because there are many in the world), is highly offensive to all mankind. Setting aside one’s “rights” is as tough or tougher than the call that then comes to those who receive His grace.
