The Call To Discipleship

Luke 14:33
In the same way, if you want to be My disciple, it will cost you everything. Don’t underestimate that cost!

Before Jesus left He gave a clear mandate to His disciples to go and make disciples of all people. To be a disciple of Jesus takes more than just a born again experience. To not become a disciple of Jesus Christ is to come short of what He desired for you to be. Why would we not want to become a true disciple, one who lives like Jesus after all He has done for us.

As Jesus stated in the above verse it will cost you everything to become what He desires for you to be. The early disciples of Jesus knew this. Think about all they gave up in exchange for following Him. They willing chose to give up things in their life, choosing to walk into an uncertain future with a certain Savior. They did not know what all lay ahead of them, but they knew who they were headed down that road with.

To be a disciple of Jesus takes a complete abandoning of self to the person and the presence of Jesus Christ that resides in you now once born again. This is accomplished by yielding to the new nature within, no longer being ruled by our old fleshly nature. You now take your focus off of the flesh and focus on the things of the spirit. Anything less is not fulfilling what He has planned for our life, which is the greatest life you could live, following in His example.
