THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP! (Luke 14:25 – 15:2)
THREE DEMANDS
-
You must love Jesus more than everything else including family (v26)
-
If you are not willing to “bear your cross” you cannot be a disciple of Jesus (v27)
-
You must not let your possessions be more important than Jesus (v33)
TWO PARABLES
-
Someone who is building a tower – a builder – but does not finish becomes a laughing stock
-
A king going to war – a battler – must decide if he has enough men to defeat his opponent.
