When we make a commitment to Jesus and to the Kingdom of God, we are expected to keep our focus, we have received new life, become new creations. 

Here in this portion of scripture Jesus is speaking to a working class of people who are familiar with farming, they knew what He was referring too.. 

A Farmer knows if he is to do his work well, he must look straight before him at the line of the furrow which he is making. To look back, while working, is to mar the work entirely. And Jesus said this disqualifies him for the work he has been set out to do.

Looking back at our past will kill our lives, both physically, spiritually and emotionally, like Lots wife who looked back and was turned to a pillar of salt, keeping our focus on the life that we had before Christ will only freeze us in the past and we wont move on to maturity, we won't experience the blessings God has for us and ultimately we will fall away.

Let's Keep Our Focus, Eyes Fixed on Jesus, Running the Race with Endurance, Keeping the Faith.

But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
