"Don't Look Back!"

You know that feeling you get when you look out at the lawn that’s been freshly cut? You have a sense and feeling of accomplishment b/c of how nice it looks. Maybe you needed to cut the grass in preparation for company that’s coming over to the house or simply b/c it needed to be cut. Have you ever stood back and looked at how straight the lines of the grass were? Were they straight? Were they crooked? Off to the side? Sometimes it happens to us when we cut the grass. Our parents taught us from young on – Don’t look back! Don’t get distracted – you can do a lot of damage with the lawn mower. Keep your eyes looking ahead. Don’t look back! If you’re distracted and not looking at where you’re supposed to be going, you run into things and the lines of the grass are crooked.
Our words of encouragement from our Lord Jesus this morning are similar to what our parents told us when cutting the grass. Jesus was speaking to the disciples and to you and me when it comes to discipleship and following Christ – “Don’t Look Back!” Jesus said – “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Let’s look at these verses this morning as we hear and heed these words of warning and encouragement.
