THE CROWDSThe Cost of Discipleship3.10.24Luke 14:25-26Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his mother and father, wife and children, brothers and sisters – yes, even their own life – such a person cannot be my disciple.”

Part of the radical call to discipleship is reordering our priorities and commitments.Luke 14:27And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

Philippians 3:10-11I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

Luke 14:33In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.
