0515. 504. “Left All”

504. “Left All”

1. Confidence. “Left all he had in Joseph’s hands” (Gen_39:6). He had proved himself worthy of confidence, therefore his conduct commanded greater trust.

2. Apostasy. “They left all the commandments of the Lord” (2Ki_17:16). To leave some of the commandments was bad, but to leave them all was worse.

3. Devotion. “We have left all, and have followed Thee” (Mar_10:28-29). Renunciation for Christ brings reward from Him.

4. Consecration. “He left all and followed Him” (Luk_5:28). What a contrast to the rich young ruler who was not willing to leave all—Luk_18:22.
