Warnings About Discipleship
Richard Bradley
Luke 9:57-62
Don't you think it's important to know the truth? I do. We all should. More than anything else Jesus wanted us to know the truth about life and living. As believers He wants us to know what we're getting ourselves into. The good news of the gospel is without cost but being a disciple of Christ is another matter. If you want to go all the way with Jesus there'll be a price to pay.
In this passage we are introduced to three individuals who apparently needed to know the truth about following Jesus. Jesus warned them to be careful about what they were asking for.
Look at three warnings about discipleship.
Luke 9:57-62 57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, ''Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.''
58 And Jesus said to him, ''Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.''
59 Then He said to another, ''Follow Me.'' But he said, ''Lord, let me first go and bury my father.''
60 Jesus said to him, ''Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.''
61 And another also said, ''Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.''
62 But Jesus said to him, ''No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.''
The cost of discipleship is high but the payoff is out of this world!
JESUS WARNED HIS DISCIPLES ABOUT THE INCONVENIENT PROBLEMS OF DISCIPLESHIP
58 And Jesus said to him, ''Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.''
Jesus warned this disciple about the potentially harsh inconveniences of discipleship. Jesus reminded His followers that when the sun went down and the day was over He didn't even have a place of His own where He could lay down and sleep in peace at night. Even for the Lord there was no refuge from the st ...
