The Demand for Discipleship
(Matthew 8 verse 18 to 27, Luke 9 Verse 53 to 63 , Luke 14 Verse 25n to 33)
In Matthew 8, Jesus speaks to the crowds about the cost of discipleship. He says that anyone who wants to follow him must be prepared to give up everything they have. This is a tough message, but it’s one that rings true even today.
There are still people out there who are willing to give up everything for the sake of following Jesus. They are the ones who are prepared to go into all the world and preach the gospel, even if it means giving up their own lives. These are the people who are truly dedicated to making disciples of all nations.
If you’re thinking about becoming a disciple of Jesus, then be prepared to give up everything you have. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. Remember, Jesus is worth everything we have to give.
Moral lessons
- We must rebound to his call to be his
disciples faithfully and willingly not only
to serve him but with honesty,
faithfulness and sincerity - Jesus did not rush in selecting the twelve
disciples. He separated himself and
prayed all night telling God’s guardians is
very necessary in anything we want to do
our success in everything we want to do
depend on how we can rely on God’s
guardian - Immediately they decided to follow Jesus,
they forgot about their past ways of life
their allegiance changed to that of Christ.
If we are not ready to leave our old ways
of life such as cheating laziness keeping
bad friends etc. we cannot be a disciple of
our lord Jesus Christ.
