Leave to Cleave

The idea of leaving to cleave is not restricted to marriage in its literal sense. Once we accept the Jesus Christ as our LORD and Saviour, we begin a journey of leaving to cleave to HIS teachings in order to experience the manifestation of all HIS promises to us fully. Ps Paul Hudson puts it succinctly in the opening paragraph which I reproduce below: The radical life of Christianity is a life that sits outside the comfort and expectations people have of us. It is what calls the missionary to leave home. It is actually a call for all of us. It is to suffer not needlessly or because of our stupidity, but because of a cause.  And that is the radical call. How is that possible? Only because of another place. There is a land. We have a home that calls for us to leave.
