Luke 9:57-62

Renounce

1. Renounce possession of things as primary (vv.57,58).

2. Renounce procrastination by putting Christ first (vv.59,60).

Jesus gives us the test of genuine discipleship in Luke 9:57-62. If we are to follow Him fully, we must:

3. Renounce all other priorities (v.61).

4. Renounce all thought of not persevering (v.62).

If we do this, Jesus promises that whosoever will lose his life for His sake shall find it. - H.G.B.
