Judges 17
6 In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.
When I read this verse, I want to cry. Not just for the people of Israel at the time this Scripture was recorded, but for people who claim to be Christians today, yet live their lives in such a way as to bring dishonor to the Name of Christ. Why do so many people claim to be Christians without giving much thought to how then they must live? Because they have not truly submitted to the LORDSHIP of Jesus. They still want to be the king or queen of their own life. Submission is as much a key to salvation as anything else. Jesus submitted to God the Father in everything He did while on this earth. How could we dare to think that we could do any less? Yes, to follow Christ is to say that “Jesus IS the Boss of me.”
