Who Do You Say I Am? SURRENDER Focussing on What’s Important by Martin Luff
Who Do You Say I Am? Luke 9: 20 “Then he (Jesus) said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Amazing confession of Peter!
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9: 23
RECOGNISE + SURRENDER
Surrender is not a popular concept
Failure 	Defeat 	Losing in a game 	Being beaten 	Giving in
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship” Romans 12: 1
"If you don't plan to live the Christian life totally committed to knowing your God and walking in obedience to Him, then don't begin; for this is what Christianity is all about.  It is a change of citizenship, a change of government, a change of allegiance.  If you have no intention of letting Christ rule your life, then forget Christianity; It's not for you." Kay Arthur
What limits my surrender?

“The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven’t yet come to the end of themselves.  We’re still trying to give orders, and interfering with God’s work within us.” AW Tozer
“The more we let God take over us, the more truly ourselves we become – because He made us.  He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be….It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.” C S Lewis
What does surrender mean for me?

“The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender.” William Booth
