I Surrender

There are several items that have a universal meaning. During WWII, when a soldier wanted to surrender, they would wave a white flag. It did not matter with they were German or Japanese, both understood what a white flag signified.
But the concept of surrender is not limited to the battlefield. Surrender should be the lifestyle for the Christ-follower. 
When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior, they also accept Him as Lord. Which means they surrender their rights to His Lordship. Every day we surrender our rights to Him. James 4:7, Romans 12:2

But we do not only surrender to Christ, but we are also to surrender our rights to others. Phiippians 2:3-4
