Luke 14:25-35
Three times in this passage, Jesus repeats the phrase, ‘cannot be my disciple.’ The word Jesus uses in this phrase literally means ‘not able.’ in other words, whoever is unwilling to pay the price would not just find it difficult to be His disciple or have to settle for being a second-rate disciple; instead, they cannot be His disciple. The lesson is that we can understand this to mean that many people, possibly some of those who have come to hear this message, have come to Jesus, pursued the goal of becoming one of His disciples, but are genuinely unable to do what you hope. Jesus welcomes everyone with a sincere heart to come to Him and truly follow but Jesus teaches that if anyone is unable to become His disciple, the fault lies with them. Take a listen. Discipleship is a full-time commitment. Nothing should modify, interrupt, or compete with it. Decide for yourself to whom you are loyal. Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.
