Message: The gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 9:20-26
Becoming a Christian is a lot about Jesus saving you from what you’ve done wrong. Being a disciple is a lot about your decision to start doing right. Vs 22 is about what Jesus did to save you, to be a payment for your sins. Vs 22 is about Jesus giving His life for you. Vs 23 is about you giving the rest of your life for Him.
Requirements for discipleship:
Deny yourself; pick up your cross (burden, suffering, etc); every day, not once in a while; exclusively for Jesus; lose your life, give up your life for Jesus; be more concerned with the things of the soul than worldly things; begin being proud of who you are in Jesus. Not ashamed
Why in the world would anyone hear what Jesus says about being His disciple and still want to be one?
1) __ _____ _______.
2) __ ______? A desire for the rest of my life to count for something more, for something eternal.
