Luke 14. Day 141 - The New Testament in a Year

Healing on the Sabbath.  Parable of the Great Banquet. Cost of Discipleship. 

“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, and even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.  Luke 14:26-27

In this episode of "The New Testament in a Year," we read and discuss Luke Chapter 14, where Jesus teaches us about humility, the inclusiveness of God's invitation, and the cost of discipleship. As we explore the context of the chapter, we see Jesus challenging societal norms by healing on the Sabbath, sharing the Parable of the Great Banquet, and emphasizing the serious commitment required to follow Him. We will look for how Jesus confronts the Pharisees, the open invitation to God's Kingdom, and the demands of true discipleship. Our devotion takeaways will focus on God's boundless compassion, the inclusivity of His love, and the dedication needed to walk faithfully with Christ.
