“Jesus' call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.”
— Francis Chan
Simplified Meaning:
Jesus asks people to fully dedicate themselves to His teachings and way of life. He doesn't want a partial effort or people following Him only when it's convenient. Think about how a coach wants athletes to give 100% during training and games; just trying halfway isn't enough to succeed. In life, this means being truly committed to Christian values and actions, not just appearing religious or picking and choosing which rules to follow. It’s like planting a garden—if you only water it sometimes, the plants won’t grow well. Similarly, giving your whole effort in following Jesus leads to a stronger faith and better life choices.
