What is a Disciple?

Do you consider yourself a disciple of Jesus?

We all say that we are disciples of Jesus!

I follow Jesus!

Christian discipleship is developing a personal, lifelong, obedient relationship with Jesus Christ in which He changes your character into Christlikeness, transforms your values into kingdom values, and involves you in His mission in the home, the church, and the world.

2. Self-denial

Luke 10:28-31

2. Self-denial

2. Self-denial (v.27).

Luke 14.27).

The cross here does not symbolize suffering, but rather the decision to do the will of God whatever the cost.

When we deny our "old man's" drives and desire to choose God's will for our lives, we take up our cross.

By that choice we lose our old self, and we begin to become the new self that God will enable us to be.

By losing our (old) life, we find our (new) life in Jesus Christ.

In Luke chapter 9 we see Jesus

What if Jesus walked among us today and began to appoint us and began to send us out 2 x 2 , would we go?

What would be our excuse?

Acts

john 15

A good illustration of this interplay between heart and life is found in the way Matthew's gospel calls attention repeatedly to the importance of regard for others, of mercy and compassion, of forgiveness and restoration as a distinguishing mark of one who does God's will.

In the Beatitudes, which provide insights into characteristics of a disciple, Jesus referred to blessing for the merciful (5:7) and the peacemakers (v.

9).

Being angry with a brother is tantamount to murder, and establishing reconciliation is a matter of the highest priority for a disciple (vv.

21-26).

On the other hand, avenging evil or retaliation in kind is not to characterize the behavior of disciples (vv.

38-42; cf.

26:50-52).

The enemy, in fact, is to be loved and prayed for (5:43-44).

LUKE: DIVISION VI THE SON OF MAN'S GREAT JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM (STAGE II): HIS TEACHING AND PUBLIC CONFLICT, 13:22-17:10 »Front Matter »Book Intro »Detailed Outline »Index F. The Cost of Discipleship, 14:25-35 (14:25-35) Introduction: Christ is not interested in cheap invitations and discipleship.

Too often the call to discipleship is to receive the great benefits and advantages offered by God.

There are eternal benefits and advantages, but salvation and discipleship involve much more.

They involve an unbelievable cost, the supreme sacrifice.

A person must pay the ultimate price, all that one is and has to follow Christ.

Just what does it cost to follow Christ?

This is the all important subject of this passage.

1. Huge crowds followed Jesus and He challenged them (v.25).

2. A man must put Christ first: before family, even before self (v.26).

3. A man must bear the cross of death: death to self (v.27).
