Download MP3 (right click to save) Roger was approached years ago by his neighbor, Ray, about an investment opportunity—a little fast food business in California for which he was recruiting ground-floor investors; Roger declined. His neighbor was Ray Kroc, and Roger turned down an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of McDonald’s. Well, later another neighbor asked Roger if he’d like to help him get started with an industrial cleaning business. Again, Roger said no. That business became the giant we know today as ServiceMaster.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft. I’ll tell you, one poet said the saddest words were “it might have been.” Yeah, I guess! And that will be the sadness of some of our lives when we look back and see the investment opportunity we may have missed—the one that would have given this one life we have eternal significance. It’s offered by Jesus in a game-changing two word invitation. Here’s one of many Biblical examples when Jesus encountered two fishermen named Simon and Andrew. He said, “‘Follow Me,’ at once they left their nets and followed Him” (Mark 1:17 ). They became two of Jesus’ disciples and they ended up rocking their world. And then there were people like the man who responded to the same invitation this way: “I will follow You, Lord, but first…” (Luke 9:61 ). He had family business he wanted to put first. We never hear of that man again. See, our lives are defined by what we do with Jesus’ invitation: “Follow Me,” to choose to go wherever He leads us from now on. He may be calling you today. It’s an opportunity not to miss. More about how to follow him at our website; check it out—AlifeThatMatters.org |
