David Platt asks what he calls “The Radical Question.”
Here is the question:
What is Jesus worth to you? Do you believe he is worth abandoning everything for? Do you really believe Jesus is so good, so satisfying, and so rewarding that you will leave all you own and all you are to find your fullness in him? Do you believe him enough to obey him and to follow him however and wherever he leads, even when the crowds in our culture — and maybe in our churches — turn the other way?
Platt’s perspective on life and ministry and sacrifice are refreshingly, well, radical.
This small booklet is well worth reading (only $1.59 for your Kindle). It is also very similar to a sermon by him that I listened to recently.
The focus of his question is simply this — what difference will Christ make in your life? Will you continue on the same path prior to Christ, or will you let Him do what the gospel does — radically transform an individual into the likeness of Christ?
