Luke 14:25-27

What it costs to be a follower of Jesus

About the next group of questions

It is not easy to follow Jesus. We must show that we love him. Here we read what to do in order to show that.

Pray

Ask God to help you to act upon what you learn.

Read: Luke 14:25-27

14:25 Who were travelling with Jesus?

14:26 We might love other people more than we love Jesus. What happens if we do? Jesus’ followers must love him more than they love which relations?

14:27 What happens to those who are not willing to follow Jesus?

Final remarks

These are some of the most severe words that Jesus ever spoke. He wanted people to understand that it is not easy to follow him. We must love him more than we love any other person in our family. This may mean that we leave our family to follow him.

Pray

Lord, these are difficult things to understand and to do. Help me to love you so much that you are the most important person in my life. Amen.
