homelesschristian View Profile History	counting the cost 💲🪙 🩸🩸 Luke 14:28 Posted : 5 Feb, 2025 07:36 AM Sit down first and count the cost: In the parable of the tower Jesus said, “Sit down and see if you can afford to follow Me.” b. Sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand: In the parable of the king Jesus said, “Sit down and see if you can afford to refuse My demands.” i. Jesus perhaps alluded to the idea that the work of His kingdom was like building and battle. Each of these are usually more costly than one thinks before beginning. c. Whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple: We have a difficult challenge in understanding and communicating the gospel here; there are two extremes to avoid. i. We can never give people the impression that they have to clean up their lives before they come to Jesus; that is like washing up before you take a bath. ii. Yet likewise we can never give people the impression that Jesus won’t want to clean up their lives with their cooperation after they come to Him. iii. It is important for every potential disciple – those of the great multitudes that followed and heard Jesus (Luke 14:25) – to consider the cost of being a disciple of Jesus. Yet those who choose to reject and resist God should count that cost as well. What possible good can come from opposing God? It costs something to be the disciple of Jesus; it costs more to reject Him. d. Forsake all that he has: This ancient Greek phrase had the idea, “To say goodbye to.” Jesus told us to say goodbye to everything we have, entrusting it to Jesus. Post Reply

If people today can miraculously speak in tongues (other languages), like you insist, then why do modern missionaries have to learn other languages the hard way BEFORE or during their mission assignment⁉️ In conclusion: We all are forced to believe you can’t prove what you believe because what you believe is obviously just another false narrative Post Reply
