Luke 9:57–62 The Cost of Following Jesus...
Many times we say: - "Lord, after my marriage improves." - "Lord, after my finances improve." - "Lord, after my ministry succeeds." - "Lord, after my fears go away." Jesus says: "Follow Me now." Not because everything is perfect. But because He is worthy. - Is there anything I am putting ahead of my obedience to God? - Am I waiting for the perfect time to fully follow Jesus? - What comfort, fear, or attachment makes it difficult for me to move forward? - Am I looking ahead to Christ or constantly looking back at what I'm leaving behind? "Jesus calls for wholehearted discipleship—following Him without delay, divided loyalty, or looking back."
