Greear and Litton Driver's Ed

You know when I took the driver's head I was thinking about this the other day because my daughters are about this age where they're. Getting into this and driver's head I had. I don't I think they still do it.

But the car that I took driver's head in had the guy sitting next to me had this big old break. That's all he had. Y 'all have this the big old brake coming out and it meant that he could stop that car anytime he wanted.

And in fact, he did it like after we've been out about five minutes just to show me that he had it. So I want to turn and he just like slam that break. And I you know slam in there. And what he was showing me was you think you're in control of this car and I'm letting you.

Drive, but I can stop this car anytime. I wants it. I took driver's head in high school. That was a trip. I'm gonna forget the guy who was teaching me. I noticed he had a strange thing over just underneath the the glove box.

There was this break and. And when I first pulled out of the parking lot, he stomped on it to show me who really boss was and and and and. I'll never forget that.

When you come to Christ, you didn't come. You basically turn over the brake. You're like because I would describe probably some of our spiritual lives that way is that Jesus is speaking to you and you're like, yeah.

Yeah, let's do that. Let's go over here. That sounds awesome. I'll do that but everyone saw you're like nope. You push that break in and the car comes to a halt because you've never actually Surrendered it to him.

You've kept that break right in place. To be surrendered to Jesus means you take the break away.

Many of us see our relationship to Christ that way and I'm not talking about you're the student driver. You're the guy with the break. And to come to Christ and to surrender to him means that you give him the steering wheel.

But you need to uninstall that break, dude. You need to stop slamming on it every time God starts moving in your life, but ultimately he had the veto power.

He had not surrendered the car to me.

Until you surrender your break to the Holy Spirit of God. Friend you're vetoing God. Who do you think you are?
