00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.039
Hello faceful listeners of the SAB podcast and to the
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:20.239
Welcome on board to another fantastic episode of the c
4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:32.280
w podcast. And welcome to another episode titled the Cost
5
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:39.240
of Discipleship from Discipline and Discipleship working a part of
6
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:47.000
Spiritual Blood. I'm your old manner and you're welcome. So
7
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:53.280
in today's episode, we'll be discussing the cost of following Jesus,
8
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.119
other things that you would have to sacrifice in terms
9
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.240
of following Christ in his lifestyle in partterns in his
10
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.799
ways applied and everything. Or before we drove into the
11
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:12.400
main business of today, as usual, we're playing a short
12
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.319
clip of previous on the previous episode, which was Jesus
13
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.640
the Disciplined Disciple, and I was also learning one or
14
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.280
two from that clip and who would ride back? This
15
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:35.920
wasn't occasionally acts, They were readings of his life daily, weekly, consistently.
16
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.000
An under lay of discipline in Jesus' life was his
17
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:46.719
sense of focus. He wasn't distracted by popularity, he wasn't
18
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:52.200
pulled into every opportunity. In fact, he often who drew
19
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:58.079
when the crowd got too big. John four. Verse thirty four,
20
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.239
Jesus says, my food is to do the wied of
21
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:08.879
In who sent me to finish his work. To do
22
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.879
the will of E who sent in to what to
23
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.599
do the finishing of his work. That's purpose, that's focus,
24
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:33.280
that's discipline. Welcome back two today's episode. And before we
25
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.759
begin fully, I want us to look at the Book
26
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:43.759
of Luke, chapter fourteen, verse twenty seven to thirty three.
27
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:49.400
So we'll be reading from twenty seven to three already
28
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:56.639
from here, goodness translation, large crowds we're traveling, that is
29
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:03.080
verse twenty Really are we starting from verse so follow
30
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.319
as I read lost crowds were traveling with Jesus and
31
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:13.199
turning to them, he said verse twenty six. If anyone
32
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.319
comes to me and does not hate father and mother,
33
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:23.879
wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, even their own life,
34
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.360
such a person cannot be my disciple. Seven and doersoever
35
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.159
does not carriage across and follow me cannot be my disciple.
36
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:43.759
Verse eight. Foundation. Suppose one of you wants to build
37
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:48.240
a tower, won't you first sit down and estimate the
38
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.599
cost of the cost to see if you have enough
39
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:57.039
money to complete it's ena for it, for it you lay.
40
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.919
For if you lay the foundation and has seize it
41
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:10.280
will ridicule you. But started saying, this person began to
42
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.639
build and wasn't able to finish. But's that line. I
43
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.160
suppose a king is about to go to the war
44
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.519
against another king. Once he first sits down, and consider
45
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.439
whether is able to able with ten thousand men to
46
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:36.319
suppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand two.
47
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:43.160
If he is not able, he will send a delegation
48
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.759
while the others is still a long way off, and
49
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.079
will ask for terms of peace. But started telling to
50
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.680
his last verse in the same way, those of you
51
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:04.759
who do not give up everything cannot be but decided now.
52
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.279
In that scripture, Christ was laid in first that one
53
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.639
must be able to sit down and think before taking
54
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:19.360
that decision. It was not given an example because especially
55
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.240
the ones that he said that if a king, if
56
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.920
there's a war against a king, and ananda, what you
57
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.439
have to first, you know, think about it. The kind
58
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.560
of army is going to send that is it going
59
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:41.759
to send a ten thousand against a twenty thousand two.
60
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.120
That there's a cost we're about to do with that,
61
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.120
That there's a cost that we must sacrifice. There's a
62
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:00.360
cost that we must render. There's a cost that must
63
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:07.839
we are talking about the cost of discipushable. Now the world.
64
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:12.399
Costs may make new posts, because let's believe we live
65
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:19.160
in a world that often looks for conveniency, is and comfort.
66
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.920
But when Jesus called people to follow it, he didn't
67
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:30.680
sugar coat it. He was oftened. This will cost you something.
68
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.480
But yes, the truth, though the cost is real, what
69
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:43.800
we gain in infinitely greater. Let's look at what Jesus
70
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.319
actually said the Book of Luke, chapter fourteen, verse twenty
71
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.959
seven to twenty eight. I've just right now again I
72
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:58.839
read whosoever does not carry their cross and follow me
73
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.360
cannot bring my disciples. Suppose one of you wants to
74
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.480
build a tower, won't you first sit down and estimate
75
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.000
the costs? Suppose you want to be the tower? It
76
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.920
was what sit down and estimate the costs? Because if
77
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.000
the tower is not built with a soden foundation is
78
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.160
going to collapse. So you must first think, count your
79
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:31.040
blessings and name them on my one. Thanks Jesus to say,
80
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:37.600
don't just jump in emotionally. Count the cost first. It
81
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:43.279
must count the cost. Discipleship isn't just raising your hands
82
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:48.800
or going to church. It's a total reorientation of your life.
83
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.000
It isn't about raising your hands or going to church.
84
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.240
The many of many of the many of us now,
85
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:02.439
or let's say many of the so called Christians, your
86
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:08.879
church goers no prefer go to church raising up, as
87
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.759
they say, only answer to God, not what God means
88
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:17.600
God Jesus is saying that it is a total reorientation
89
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:22.920
of your life. Is a total real working of your mind,
90
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:28.000
of your consciousness to what is saying. And it doesn't
91
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.879
apologize for it. It didn't beg people to follow you.
92
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.039
It's not begging you to following. It's not it's not
93
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:40.399
doing your pretense. He lays it out plainly. This road
94
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:45.639
will cost you, permil you to use the mother tongue,
95
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:52.480
O year and a nickel. It will cost you. Let's
96
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.000
break it down. What are the real life costs of
97
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.279
following Jesus. Number one cost is your comfort? Is that
98
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:08.120
pleasure Jesus often led its disciples into discomfort, no home.
99
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.639
Based on look Chapter nine, verse fifty eight. You carry
100
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:18.360
that no promise of security, long days, tired feet. Top
101
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:27.679
assignments discipleship often pushes us out of discomfort zone. Number two,
102
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:33.159
we have the control. This one is here to follow.
103
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:39.879
Christ means eleads you. You don't lead yourself. You don't
104
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.480
get to pick and choose which titia is to obey.
105
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.480
He does that for you. You don't get to write.
106
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:52.639
Your old scripture gives you a word you surrender your
107
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.759
will to with you will, so you want to bring
108
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.480
you He's going to win you. You have that mind
109
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.360
that your will is normally your will on to when
110
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.000
God has spoken. But that is it difficult in the
111
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.240
breeder at time to surrender apart from committing some kind
112
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:20.799
of certain scenes. But basically our life must be totally
113
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:27.240
o be the But that word totally emphasized on is
114
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.600
very difficult to rely on to lay us on to
115
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.919
point on because it looks like a kind of a
116
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:39.159
big word. It looks like the word a kind of
117
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:48.759
a big word total obedience. So number three is approver.
118
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.639
Provide what sense this is said that fullon in could
119
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:59.159
cause division even in families. Look Chapter twelve, verse fifteen
120
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:03.039
one to fifty ten. You carry that it's possible to
121
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:10.320
lose popularity, we missed, understood, or even be rejected. That
122
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.320
is it. So God was not promising like I said,
123
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.840
like I said the first episode, that God was not
124
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:21.799
promising comfort. God was not promising peace was coming with
125
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.240
a sword. He said it in the Book of Luke
126
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.480
from that verse twenty five. That is seeing most you eat,
127
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.919
your father, your mother does two words liking to do
128
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:39.559
not is not even looks like wickedness. There's no wickedness.
129
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:45.039
It is the cost of the This is the cost
130
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:50.120
of discipleship. But you remind us wo to you when
131
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.360
all men speaks well of you, that does look six
132
00:11:53.720 --> 00:12:01.000
tenty six. Number four is the possession. Look for things,
133
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:07.360
but sadically chase. The last bars goes red on the
134
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.639
the first scripture read. Let me read it again. He said,
135
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.919
in the same way, those of you who do not
136
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:24.000
give up everything you are, you cannot be is discipled. Okay,
137
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.519
you cannot be discipled. Say those of you does not
138
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.600
give up everything you have, you cannot be disciple. So
139
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.519
Jesus isn't saying you can't be all. So just Us
140
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.519
isn't saying you can't own things. He's saying, don't let
141
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:48.159
anything on you. You know, let money on you, because
142
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.360
the love of money is the route of all you.
143
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.840
So if money is more, money is more locked than Jesus.
144
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.639
Now in this our world. Now we see that more
145
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.879
which we chasing more or we chansing more his his
146
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:08.720
that money that riches. But everything is eighty material and
147
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.600
you're all gonna go one day. I don't know why
148
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:18.799
you just keep chasing the window? Mhm? Would you walk
149
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.039
away from it all? If he asked? There was a
150
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.919
man that came to Jesus, was asking him a question.
151
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:37.759
He said, what can I do befollowing? Jesus listeday its
152
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.720
and and things you need to before I can become
153
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.480
my disciples. But the man was confused. And what he
154
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.279
left thats of what the man did not grew that wisdom.
155
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:55.000
They're not going to understand. I wasn't able to catch
156
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.679
what Jesus was trying to see. We it it was,
157
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.759
and it was it was helping. After Jesus was helping
158
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:10.600
that man. Remember the rich ruler ruled in Mark ten.
159
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.120
That was the man I was talking about in that
160
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.399
same book of Mark ten. He was asking Jesus he
161
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.039
is a rich man. He said, what can I do
162
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.799
to follow you? And you just told the man that
163
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:29.080
you most die. You're riches in continue to the just
164
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.519
taking more than me, he must words leave it, drop it,
165
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.679
and was following. He said he was more religious since here.
166
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.519
But when Jesus said, said what you have and follow me,
167
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.879
they walked away sadly. So he worked away because Jesus
168
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.960
to them say all you are, but was able to
169
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.720
catch the up of God in his life. Then losed
170
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:59.960
his salvation. So we're saying that in like our last
171
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.919
I think in the episode where we talked about the
172
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:08.240
discipline plus disciples, we said that a man can be disciplined,
173
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:14.159
but that doesn't mean it's a disciple and discipleship. Before
174
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.159
he can be discipled, he must be disciplined. So God
175
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:23.840
was giving that man in discipline. Yah, the man is discipled,
176
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.919
I mean the man is disciplined. The man of morals
177
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.399
is religious and sincere. But before it can become a disciple,
178
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.480
he must sell all the material things that ye are.
179
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.080
But that was very difficult of him to sell because
180
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:45.960
the cost was too high. He wanted Jesus plus comfort status.
181
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.480
Are worked and it's not personally just you cannot you
182
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:53.159
cannot carry work to Jesus. He said, way, jesuon you said,
183
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:58.919
pay Jesu Calica Calica can Jesus is more than the world.
184
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:05.039
But the world that you have higher. It is beyond
185
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:12.679
the physical reality that you're living in. It is beyond
186
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.600
the physical Look, as I remember book, that is wrong
187
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.879
when they see people that are believers that they are Christians,
188
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.639
or they see most pastors or the most people, they
189
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.799
say most most of the generalized that those most Christians
190
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:33.240
are poor. But they never understood this cripture that you
191
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:38.039
can be poor. But in the place of discipline, in
192
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.960
the place of dealing, a man was showing that all
193
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.039
a man was, the old man was.
194
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:50.840
Common down beforewards God has said so man, so man
195
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:54.159
cannot cannot enter the Kingdom of God without have been
196
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.679
to lose everything was loose.
197
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:03.559
Everything. So just what said there to that man, to
198
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.519
us that before we can fullow, before we can become
199
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:13.759
in a new Christ, there are costs. There are costs.
200
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:21.559
There are sacrifice. Yes, wait it gets beautiful. Yes, there's
201
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:25.680
a cost of discipleship. But there is also a cost
202
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:31.960
to not following Jesus. What do you gain if you
203
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.279
get the old world? Put louse? Yes, that was one
204
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.799
the man you rich man lost He lost is soul,
205
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:43.279
he lost his salvation. That is make eight verse thirteen six.
206
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:50.200
Choosing is over obedience, choosing the crowd over the cross,
207
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:58.640
choosing self over surrender. That costs us our joy, our purpose,
208
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:05.119
our peace, our eternity. It cost us our life. The
209
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:11.680
cost is great, but the the world is greater. The
210
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:17.640
cost of discipline is great, for the reworld is greater.
211
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:25.160
Matthew Chapter nineteen, verse twenty nine says, everyone who has
212
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:30.200
left houses or brothers or sisters for my sake, we
213
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:37.440
will received eight thousand times as much as will hear
214
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:43.039
it eternal life. If we inherit data, we received a
215
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:50.640
thousand times of whatever thing he has lived. Let me
216
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.720
ask you this, have you ever met someone who truly
217
00:18:54.880 --> 00:19:00.359
gave up everything to follow Jesus? That question is very
218
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:05.319
kind of hurt. When really hurt, it is that for me,
219
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.880
like I say, I've not seen anybody, probably not yet.
220
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.440
I've not seen an example of someone who has given
221
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.160
up everything just to follow Jesus. But I've kind of
222
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:22.440
seen someone who has really giving up everything. He's a missionary,
223
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.880
he's traveling places to places, He's doing the work of God,
224
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.319
and God is blessing. God is sincerely blessing. I think
225
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.279
I've seen someone he came. Was the man is like
226
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.559
I'll call him a gland part because you know, an
227
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.279
old man, so you know that he has gone. He
228
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.720
has gonna find the ministry. So he's a missionary and
229
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.440
he's going places to places doing the work of God.
230
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.079
I have and there are some of the most peaceful,
231
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.279
joy filled people I know. Yes, the people that have
232
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:01.880
felt the joy the life what they do because why
233
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.039
they have lost some things, they have gained something far better,
234
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.960
A deeper intimacy with Christ. In leistionship with Christ, a
235
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:19.960
proposed that cannot be shaken, a freedom that possessions can't offer,
236
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:30.000
a hope that death can't touch. Pride. True disciples don't
237
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:41.160
regret the cost because they have tasted the reward. So finally,
238
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.440
so yes, the big question, are you willing to count
239
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:51.559
the cost and still say yes? Don't be like that
240
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:55.480
man that came to Jesus that wanted Jesus and still
241
00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.640
remained in the world. He wanted Jesus, but he still
242
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.279
remained in the world and never wanted to lead the
243
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.720
things of the world to the world. Yeah, because Jesus
244
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.599
isn't looking for fans. By Rother, He's looking for followers.
245
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:17.200
Are not followers of his book, the fullers of Instagram,
246
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:23.680
the followers of TikTok, but followers that are spiritually granted.
247
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:31.519
People don't, people who don't just admire him but imitates him.
248
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.920
People who see Jesus, you are what everything and friend
249
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:42.279
is a closing prayer are closing child for us as
250
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:46.480
we're close. In today's are episode, I pray that the
251
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.559
only spirited minister more of his world to us in
252
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:56.599
Animal Jesus, Let's pray together. Jesus, you never hate the
253
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:01.039
cost of following you, and today will say yes, not
254
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:07.160
just to your blessings, pot to your core. Surrender what
255
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.960
we had too tightly, we hold too tightly. Give us
256
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:19.480
courage to follow when it's costly. I remind us daily
257
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:26.480
that nothing compares to knowing you in Jesus' name. Amen,
258
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:33.519

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.039
Hello faceful listeners of the SAB podcast and to the
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:20.239
Welcome on board to another fantastic episode of the c
4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:32.280
w podcast. And welcome to another episode titled the Cost
5
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:39.240
of Discipleship from Discipline and Discipleship working a part of
6
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:47.000
Spiritual Blood. I'm your old manner and you're welcome. So
7
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:53.280
in today's episode, we'll be discussing the cost of following Jesus,
8
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.119
other things that you would have to sacrifice in terms
9
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.240
of following Christ in his lifestyle in partterns in his
10
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.799
ways applied and everything. Or before we drove into the
11
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:12.400
main business of today, as usual, we're playing a short
12
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.319
clip of previous on the previous episode, which was Jesus
13
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.640
the Disciplined Disciple, and I was also learning one or
14
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.280
two from that clip and who would ride back? This
15
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:35.920
wasn't occasionally acts, They were readings of his life daily, weekly, consistently.
16
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.000
An under lay of discipline in Jesus' life was his
17
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:46.719
sense of focus. He wasn't distracted by popularity, he wasn't
18
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:52.200
pulled into every opportunity. In fact, he often who drew
19
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:58.079
when the crowd got too big. John four. Verse thirty four,
20
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.239
Jesus says, my food is to do the wied of
21
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:08.879
In who sent me to finish his work. To do
22
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.879
the will of E who sent in to what to
23
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.599
do the finishing of his work. That's purpose, that's focus,
24
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:33.280
that's discipline. Welcome back two today's episode. And before we
25
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.759
begin fully, I want us to look at the Book
26
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:43.759
of Luke, chapter fourteen, verse twenty seven to thirty three.
27
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:49.400
So we'll be reading from twenty seven to three already
28
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:56.639
from here, goodness translation, large crowds we're traveling, that is
29
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:03.080
verse twenty Really are we starting from verse so follow
30
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.319
as I read lost crowds were traveling with Jesus and
31
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:13.199
turning to them, he said verse twenty six. If anyone
32
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.319
comes to me and does not hate father and mother,
33
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:23.879
wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, even their own life,
34
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.360
such a person cannot be my disciple. Seven and doersoever
35
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.159
does not carriage across and follow me cannot be my disciple.
36
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:43.759
Verse eight. Foundation. Suppose one of you wants to build
37
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:48.240
a tower, won't you first sit down and estimate the
38
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.599
cost of the cost to see if you have enough
39
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:57.039
money to complete it's ena for it, for it you lay.
40
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.919
For if you lay the foundation and has seize it
41
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:10.280
will ridicule you. But started saying, this person began to
42
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.639
build and wasn't able to finish. But's that line. I
43
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.160
suppose a king is about to go to the war
44
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.519
against another king. Once he first sits down, and consider
45
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.439
whether is able to able with ten thousand men to
46
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:36.319
suppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand two.
47
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:43.160
If he is not able, he will send a delegation
48
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.759
while the others is still a long way off, and
49
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.079
will ask for terms of peace. But started telling to
50
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.680
his last verse in the same way, those of you
51
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:04.759
who do not give up everything cannot be but decided now.
52
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.279
In that scripture, Christ was laid in first that one
53
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.639
must be able to sit down and think before taking
54
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:19.360
that decision. It was not given an example because especially
55
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.240
the ones that he said that if a king, if
56
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.920
there's a war against a king, and ananda, what you
57
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.439
have to first, you know, think about it. The kind
58
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.560
of army is going to send that is it going
59
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:41.759
to send a ten thousand against a twenty thousand two.
60
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.120
That there's a cost we're about to do with that,
61
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.120
That there's a cost that we must sacrifice. There's a
62
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:00.360
cost that we must render. There's a cost that must
63
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:07.839
we are talking about the cost of discipushable. Now the world.
64
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:12.399
Costs may make new posts, because let's believe we live
65
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:19.160
in a world that often looks for conveniency, is and comfort.
66
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.920
But when Jesus called people to follow it, he didn't
67
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:30.680
sugar coat it. He was oftened. This will cost you something.
68
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.480
But yes, the truth, though the cost is real, what
69
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:43.800
we gain in infinitely greater. Let's look at what Jesus
70
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.319
actually said the Book of Luke, chapter fourteen, verse twenty
71
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.959
seven to twenty eight. I've just right now again I
72
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:58.839
read whosoever does not carry their cross and follow me
73
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.360
cannot bring my disciples. Suppose one of you wants to
74
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.480
build a tower, won't you first sit down and estimate
75
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.000
the costs? Suppose you want to be the tower? It
76
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.920
was what sit down and estimate the costs? Because if
77
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.000
the tower is not built with a soden foundation is
78
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.160
going to collapse. So you must first think, count your
79
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:31.040
blessings and name them on my one. Thanks Jesus to say,
80
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:37.600
don't just jump in emotionally. Count the cost first. It
81
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:43.279
must count the cost. Discipleship isn't just raising your hands
82
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:48.800
or going to church. It's a total reorientation of your life.
83
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.000
It isn't about raising your hands or going to church.
84
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.240
The many of many of the many of us now,
85
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:02.439
or let's say many of the so called Christians, your
86
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:08.879
church goers no prefer go to church raising up, as
87
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.759
they say, only answer to God, not what God means
88
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:17.600
God Jesus is saying that it is a total reorientation
89
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:22.920
of your life. Is a total real working of your mind,
90
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:28.000
of your consciousness to what is saying. And it doesn't
91
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.879
apologize for it. It didn't beg people to follow you.
92
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.039
It's not begging you to following. It's not it's not
93
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:40.399
doing your pretense. He lays it out plainly. This road
94
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:45.639
will cost you, permil you to use the mother tongue,
95
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:52.480
O year and a nickel. It will cost you. Let's
96
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.000
break it down. What are the real life costs of
97
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.279
following Jesus. Number one cost is your comfort? Is that
98
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:08.120
pleasure Jesus often led its disciples into discomfort, no home.
99
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.639
Based on look Chapter nine, verse fifty eight. You carry
100
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:18.360
that no promise of security, long days, tired feet. Top
101
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:27.679
assignments discipleship often pushes us out of discomfort zone. Number two,
102
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:33.159
we have the control. This one is here to follow.
103
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:39.879
Christ means eleads you. You don't lead yourself. You don't
104
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.480
get to pick and choose which titia is to obey.
105
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.480
He does that for you. You don't get to write.
106
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:52.639
Your old scripture gives you a word you surrender your
107
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.759
will to with you will, so you want to bring
108
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.480
you He's going to win you. You have that mind
109
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.360
that your will is normally your will on to when
110
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.000
God has spoken. But that is it difficult in the
111
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.240
breeder at time to surrender apart from committing some kind
112
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:20.799
of certain scenes. But basically our life must be totally
113
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:27.240
o be the But that word totally emphasized on is
114
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.600
very difficult to rely on to lay us on to
115
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.919
point on because it looks like a kind of a
116
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:39.159
big word. It looks like the word a kind of
117
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:48.759
a big word total obedience. So number three is approver.
118
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.639
Provide what sense this is said that fullon in could
119
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:59.159
cause division even in families. Look Chapter twelve, verse fifteen
120
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:03.039
one to fifty ten. You carry that it's possible to
121
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:10.320
lose popularity, we missed, understood, or even be rejected. That
122
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.320
is it. So God was not promising like I said,
123
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.840
like I said the first episode, that God was not
124
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:21.799
promising comfort. God was not promising peace was coming with
125
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.240
a sword. He said it in the Book of Luke
126
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.480
from that verse twenty five. That is seeing most you eat,
127
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.919
your father, your mother does two words liking to do
128
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:39.559
not is not even looks like wickedness. There's no wickedness.
129
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:45.039
It is the cost of the This is the cost
130
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:50.120
of discipleship. But you remind us wo to you when
131
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.360
all men speaks well of you, that does look six
132
00:11:53.720 --> 00:12:01.000
tenty six. Number four is the possession. Look for things,
133
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:07.360
but sadically chase. The last bars goes red on the
134
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.639
the first scripture read. Let me read it again. He said,
135
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.919
in the same way, those of you who do not
136
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:24.000
give up everything you are, you cannot be is discipled. Okay,
137
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.519
you cannot be discipled. Say those of you does not
138
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.600
give up everything you have, you cannot be disciple. So
139
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.519
Jesus isn't saying you can't be all. So just Us
140
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.519
isn't saying you can't own things. He's saying, don't let
141
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:48.159
anything on you. You know, let money on you, because
142
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.360
the love of money is the route of all you.
143
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.840
So if money is more, money is more locked than Jesus.
144
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.639
Now in this our world. Now we see that more
145
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.879
which we chasing more or we chansing more his his
146
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:08.720
that money that riches. But everything is eighty material and
147
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.600
you're all gonna go one day. I don't know why
148
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:18.799
you just keep chasing the window? Mhm? Would you walk
149
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.039
away from it all? If he asked? There was a
150
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.919
man that came to Jesus, was asking him a question.
151
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:37.759
He said, what can I do befollowing? Jesus listeday its
152
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.720
and and things you need to before I can become
153
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.480
my disciples. But the man was confused. And what he
154
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.279
left thats of what the man did not grew that wisdom.
155
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:55.000
They're not going to understand. I wasn't able to catch
156
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.679
what Jesus was trying to see. We it it was,
157
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.759
and it was it was helping. After Jesus was helping
158
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:10.600
that man. Remember the rich ruler ruled in Mark ten.
159
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.120
That was the man I was talking about in that
160
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.399
same book of Mark ten. He was asking Jesus he
161
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.039
is a rich man. He said, what can I do
162
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.799
to follow you? And you just told the man that
163
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:29.080
you most die. You're riches in continue to the just
164
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.519
taking more than me, he must words leave it, drop it,
165
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.679
and was following. He said he was more religious since here.
166
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.519
But when Jesus said, said what you have and follow me,
167
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.879
they walked away sadly. So he worked away because Jesus
168
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.960
to them say all you are, but was able to
169
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.720
catch the up of God in his life. Then losed
170
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:59.960
his salvation. So we're saying that in like our last
171
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.919
I think in the episode where we talked about the
172
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:08.240
discipline plus disciples, we said that a man can be disciplined,
173
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:14.159
but that doesn't mean it's a disciple and discipleship. Before
174
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.159
he can be discipled, he must be disciplined. So God
175
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:23.840
was giving that man in discipline. Yah, the man is discipled,
176
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.919
I mean the man is disciplined. The man of morals
177
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.399
is religious and sincere. But before it can become a disciple,
178
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.480
he must sell all the material things that ye are.
179
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.080
But that was very difficult of him to sell because
180
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:45.960
the cost was too high. He wanted Jesus plus comfort status.
181
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.480
Are worked and it's not personally just you cannot you
182
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:53.159
cannot carry work to Jesus. He said, way, jesuon you said,
183
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:58.919
pay Jesu Calica Calica can Jesus is more than the world.
184
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:05.039
But the world that you have higher. It is beyond
185
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:12.679
the physical reality that you're living in. It is beyond
186
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.600
the physical Look, as I remember book, that is wrong
187
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.879
when they see people that are believers that they are Christians,
188
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.639
or they see most pastors or the most people, they
189
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.799
say most most of the generalized that those most Christians
190
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:33.240
are poor. But they never understood this cripture that you
191
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:38.039
can be poor. But in the place of discipline, in
192
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.960
the place of dealing, a man was showing that all
193
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.039
a man was, the old man was.
194
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:50.840
Common down beforewards God has said so man, so man
195
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:54.159
cannot cannot enter the Kingdom of God without have been
196
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.679
to lose everything was loose.
197
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:03.559
Everything. So just what said there to that man, to
198
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.519
us that before we can fullow, before we can become
199
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:13.759
in a new Christ, there are costs. There are costs.
200
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:21.559
There are sacrifice. Yes, wait it gets beautiful. Yes, there's
201
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:25.680
a cost of discipleship. But there is also a cost
202
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:31.960
to not following Jesus. What do you gain if you
203
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.279
get the old world? Put louse? Yes, that was one
204
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.799
the man you rich man lost He lost is soul,
205
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:43.279
he lost his salvation. That is make eight verse thirteen six.
206
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:50.200
Choosing is over obedience, choosing the crowd over the cross,
207
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:58.640
choosing self over surrender. That costs us our joy, our purpose,
208
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:05.119
our peace, our eternity. It cost us our life. The
209
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:11.680
cost is great, but the the world is greater. The
210
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:17.640
cost of discipline is great, for the reworld is greater.
211
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:25.160
Matthew Chapter nineteen, verse twenty nine says, everyone who has
212
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:30.200
left houses or brothers or sisters for my sake, we
213
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:37.440
will received eight thousand times as much as will hear
214
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:43.039
it eternal life. If we inherit data, we received a
215
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:50.640
thousand times of whatever thing he has lived. Let me
216
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.720
ask you this, have you ever met someone who truly
217
00:18:54.880 --> 00:19:00.359
gave up everything to follow Jesus? That question is very
218
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:05.319
kind of hurt. When really hurt, it is that for me,
219
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.880
like I say, I've not seen anybody, probably not yet.
220
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.440
I've not seen an example of someone who has given
221
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.160
up everything just to follow Jesus. But I've kind of
222
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:22.440
seen someone who has really giving up everything. He's a missionary,
223
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.880
he's traveling places to places, He's doing the work of God,
224
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.319
and God is blessing. God is sincerely blessing. I think
225
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.279
I've seen someone he came. Was the man is like
226
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.559
I'll call him a gland part because you know, an
227
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.279
old man, so you know that he has gone. He
228
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.720
has gonna find the ministry. So he's a missionary and
229
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.440
he's going places to places doing the work of God.
230
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.079
I have and there are some of the most peaceful,
231
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:58.279
joy filled people I know. Yes, the people that have
232
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:01.880
felt the joy the life what they do because why
233
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.039
they have lost some things, they have gained something far better,
234
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.960
A deeper intimacy with Christ. In leistionship with Christ, a
235
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:19.960
proposed that cannot be shaken, a freedom that possessions can't offer,
236
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:30.000
a hope that death can't touch. Pride. True disciples don't
237
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:41.160
regret the cost because they have tasted the reward. So finally,
238
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.440
so yes, the big question, are you willing to count
239
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:51.559
the cost and still say yes? Don't be like that
240
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:55.480
man that came to Jesus that wanted Jesus and still
241
00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.640
remained in the world. He wanted Jesus, but he still
242
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.279
remained in the world and never wanted to lead the
243
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.720
things of the world to the world. Yeah, because Jesus
244
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.599
isn't looking for fans. By Rother, He's looking for followers.
245
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:17.200
Are not followers of his book, the fullers of Instagram,
246
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:23.680
the followers of TikTok, but followers that are spiritually granted.
247
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:31.519
People don't, people who don't just admire him but imitates him.
248
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.920
People who see Jesus, you are what everything and friend
249
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:42.279
is a closing prayer are closing child for us as
250
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:46.480
we're close. In today's are episode, I pray that the
251
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.559
only spirited minister more of his world to us in
252
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:56.599
Animal Jesus, Let's pray together. Jesus, you never hate the
253
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:01.039
cost of following you, and today will say yes, not
254
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:07.160
just to your blessings, pot to your core. Surrender what
255
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.960
we had too tightly, we hold too tightly. Give us
256
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:19.480
courage to follow when it's costly. I remind us daily
257
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:26.480
that nothing compares to knowing you in Jesus' name. Amen,
258
