We read Luke 9 and let Jesus confront how we approach Scripture, how we define “enough,” and what it really means to follow him. I connect the miracles and hard teachings to daily surrender, where God replaces my need for control and comfort with true life.
• coming to the Word expecting to hear from God
• Jesus sending the Twelve with authority over demons and disease
• Herod’s confusion and curiosity about Jesus
• feeding the five thousand by offering what we have
• Peter confessing Jesus as the Christ of God
• the call to deny self and take up the cross daily
• the transfiguration and the Father’s command to listen to Jesus
• Jesus healing a boy when the disciples cannot
• greatness reframed as welcoming the least
• refusing revenge when rejected by a Samaritan village
• counting the cost of following without delay or excuses
• naming what must die in us so we can truly live
Today, if you're feeling brave, would you just pray this prayer?
God, what do you see in me that needs to die?
What do I need to give up for your sake?
