Do you remember the somewhat pejorative term that people used in the 70’s for someone who was passionate about following Christ? That’s right…a “Jesus Freak”! I’m sure some of you younger ones are thinking, “Wait a minute, isn’t that a DC Talk tune? You know…’what will people think when they hear that I’m a Jesus freak?’” Well, before it was a hit song, it definitely had another meaning.
As we’ll hear in our study, it is possible, indeed more accurately, incumbent upon us, to be radical (yet rational) when it comes to our commitment to Christ. Yet, why is it that there seem to be pockets in our lives in which we hold back from giving Him our all, from letting Him take complete control of every part of us? We’re going to meet Jehu tonight - a classic example of one who went so far in his zeal in one sense, and yet tragically not far enough where it really mattered. Let us not miss the lesson he teaches us, for while this king was busy dealing with what was all around him on the outside, he sadly neglected the most important part - what needed to be dealt with on the inside.
