Surrendering Your Entire Life to Christ 2 Corinthians 5:17 The story is told of a man reading a newspaper when he came across a map of the world. So he clipped it out, cut it into pieces and told his little boy to put it back together again. After a while the boy said to him, ‘I’ve done it!’ His father marveled, ‘As quick as that? How did you do it?’ His son said: ‘I turned it over and on the back was a picture of a man. I put the man together—and the world came together!’ You can’t change the world, but Christ can change you, and when that happens, your world will start coming together. The Bible says, ‘If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away, behold, all things are made new.’ But don’t just give Jesus your heart; give Him your entire life. Yes, the thief on the cross found redemption in his dying moments, so there’s no age limit when it comes to salvation. But J. O. Wilson points out: ‘suppose that Paul had been converted at seventy instead of forty-five. There would have been no Paul in history. There was a Matthew Henry because he was converted at eleven and not at seventy; a Jonathan Edwards because he was converted at eight and not eighty. How much more a soul is worth that has a lifetime of opportunity before it, than the soul which has nothing! Lambs are of more worth than sheep in the realm of souls, as well as in the marketplace.’
