Over the past two weeks, we’ve been thinking carefully about moving forward in faith in the new year. From Isaiah 43, we were reminded that God is doing a new thing. From Hebrews 11, we saw what a faithful life looks like in the present while God’s promises are still unfolding. Tomorrow, Jesus presses the question further and makes it personal.
Luke 14 is not a comfortable passage. Jesus speaks to large, enthusiastic crowds and refuses to let their admiration be mistaken for commitment. He calls people to consider loyalty, priority, and cost. Following him is not impulsive or casual. It’s a deliberate decision to give him first place over every competing claim.
