The Cost of Control
Day 7: The Cost of Control
Reading: John 19:14-15; Ezekiel 14:3-4
Devotional:
"We have no king but Caesar" remains one of history's most tragic declarations. The people rejected the true King and chose the very oppressor they longed to escape. When we refuse Jesus' control, we don't gain freedom—we simply submit to different masters.
Control is an illusion that costs us everything. What are you holding onto that Jesus is asking you to release? Your plans, relationships, career, or comfort? The irony is that the very things we cling to for security often become the chains that bind us.
Jesus' control isn't restrictive; it's liberating. His lordship doesn't diminish your life—it fulfills it. Today, identify one area where you're choosing Caesar over Christ, and consciously surrender it to the true King.
