The High Cost and Eternal Benefits of Following Jesus
This Sunday we will be examining a passage from the Gospel of Luke where our Savior sets forth what some have called ‘the cost of discipleship.’ In Luke 9:23-25 Jesus speaks of three costs, or requirements, that are imposed upon any who would seek to walk with Him. We see them in verse 23:
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Here we find that all disciples of Jesus must 1) deny themselves, 2) take up their own crosses each day, and 3) follow closely in His footsteps.
But how should we understand and apply these three requirements today? What do they mean?
I look forward to probing these Words of Jesus with you this coming Lord’s Day!
