The Cost,
The Rewards

11. Read Luke 18: 18-23

12. Luke 18: 22(KJV)
22 Now when Jesus heard these
things, he said unto him, Yet
lackest thou one thing: sell all
that thou hast, and distribute
unto the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and
come, follow me.

13. Luke 18: 22(AMP)
22 And when Jesus heard it, He
said to him, one thing you still
lack. Sell everything that you
have and divide [the money]
among the poor, and you will
have [rich] treasure in heaven;
and come back [and] follow Me
[become My disciple, join My
party, and accompany Me].

14. Question
What is He telling us here?
If you have money or
possessions, you can’t follow
Him?
What does He mean?

15. Read Luke 14:25-27

16. Luke 14:25-27(KJV)
25 Large crowds went with Him. And
He turned and said to them, 26 “If
anyone comes to Me and does not
hate his father and mother and
wife and children and brothers and
sisters, yes, and even his own life,
he cannot be My disciple.27 And
whoever does not bear his cross
and follow Me cannot be My
disciple.

17. 26 If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his
[own] father and mother [in the sense of
indifference to or relative disregard for them in
comparison with his attitude toward God] and
[likewise] his wife and children and brothers
and sisters—[yes] and even his own life also—
he cannot be My disciple.
27 Whoever does not persevere and carry his
own cross and come after (follow) Me cannot
be My disciple.
Luke 14:26-27(AMP)

18. Question
Hate? Is He telling us that we
have to hate our family here?
If you don’t hate yourself, you
can’t follow Him?
What does He mean?

19. Hate
Greek word miseo
Hate, Love less

20. Read Matthew 16:24

21. Matthew 16:24(KJV)
24 Then said Jesus unto
his disciples, If any man
will come after me, let
him deny himself, and
take up his cross, and
follow me.

22. Matthew 16:24(AMP)
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If
anyone desires to be My disciple, let
him deny himself [disregard, lose sight
of, and forget himself and his own
interests] and take up his cross and
follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me,
conform wholly to My example in
living and, if need be, in dying, also].

23. Quote
“To unbelievers among the multitudes who
were present on that occasion Jesus’
words ’come after Me’ applied to the initial
surrender of the new birth, when a person
comes to Christ for salvation and the old life
of sin is exchanged for a new life of
righteousness. To the believers there,
including the Twelve, ’come after
Me’ reiterated the call to the life of daily
obedience to Christ.”

24. Question
What does ‘take up
your cross’ mean?
What does it mean to
you?

25. Paul said:
1 Corinthians 15:
31 I protest by your
rejoicing which I have
in Christ Jesus our
Lord, I die daily.
