At Victory last week we studied from Luke 14:25-35 and our bible study theme was "commitment." It seems to me that in our day there are many people "following" Christ, but I believe few are really committed!
In our CLEAR curriculum the transition read like this:
"In the context of the selected Scripture we find a multitude of people following Christ. Most leaders would be greatly satisfied that people were actually following them. But Jesus is no ordinary leader. He is not interested in fluffy followers or curious crowds. He wants devoted disciples. What he now declares will certainly clear the crowd."
Listed are the three necessities for committed discipleship:
- Love the Lord supremely (Luke 14:25-26)
- Count the costs carefully (Luke 14:27-32)
- Relinquish your resources sacrificially (Luke 14:33)
