- Although Onesimus was a slave, Paul asks that he be received as a beloved brother.
Gospel – Luke 14:25-33
- Jesus speaks to the crowds, reminding them that to follow him means putting aside one’s own life.
- The Lord offers the examples of waging war and a construction project in order to make it clear that they must know the cost of discipleship before they commit to Christ.
