Luke 9:62 KJV
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

I was thinking about this verse the other day and had a few insights I’d like to share.

What would a man looking back possibly think?

Look at all I have done.

I’ve done enough.

Both thoughts may put us at odds with following Jesus properly. It is a warning that we should heed and press forward to the prize as Paul suggests in Philippians 3:13-14.
