One of the great themes of the Gospel of Luke is the emphasis on following Jesus. Following involves submission to Jesus and His teaching and being completely committed to Him as Lord. Jesus told His disciples in Luke 9:23, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross dailyContinueContinue reading “Yes, but let me first (Luke 9:57-62)”

Following Jesus (Luke 9:21-26)
