Learning Daily to be a Disciple of Jesus

Learning Daily to be a Disciple of Jesus. Luke 14:25-33;John 1:12 Jesus tells us that there are basic things we have to do to be a Disciple of Christ. Anyone who is not willing to pay the price and do these things may be saved, but they are not a Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice the requirements for true discipleship.

1. v. 26—The true Disciple will love Christ supremely.
2. v. 27a—The true Disciple will take up his cross.
3. v. 27b—The true Disciple will follow Jesus—This means to be engaged in the work He did.
4. v. 28–33 The true Disciple will Count The Cost.
   He will weigh his worldly attachments against the demands of the cross and he will enter into the race knowing that it will cost him everything he has for the sake of Christ. His work demands that everything be placed on the altar of sacrifice. Very few are willing to pay that price, but those who are will find a grace for living that the rest never experience. They will find a peace that others cannot comprehend. They will know power with God and for God that others can only dream of. The price is outrageous to the mind of man, but when compared with the payoff, it is extremely cheap.We learn to always put Jesus First in our Lives.The true Disciple will fulfill his one purpose in life. Anyone can come to Christ and get saved. They can miss Hell by placing their faith in His shed blood and in His resurrection from the dead.Salvation costs nothing, but being a disciple costs everything!
