Discipleship Our Goal We will look at discipleship as the process by which we become followers of Jesus and, as such, better soul-winners.

Discipleship Lesson 13, March 29 Discipleship Lesson 13, March 29 The Cost of Discipleship

Key Text 2 Corinthians 1:7 ESV “Our hope unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.”

The Cost of Discipleship Initial Words “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Tim. 3:12, ESV). “[B]ecause Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps” (1 Pet. 2:21, ESV). Whatever the cost of discipleship is, considering the ultimate reward, that cost is cheap enough.

The Cost of Discipleship Quick Look 1. Calculating the Cost (Luke 14:26) 2. Responding to the Cost (Luke 14:27) 3. Comparing the Cost (Luke 18:28-30)

Luke 14:26 NKJV “ ‘If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters… he cannot be My disciple.’ ” The Cost of Discipleship 1. Calculating the Cost

First Priority Hatred in this context may indicate “loving less.” Whenever family receives precedence and Christ becomes secondary, Jesus relinquishes lordship. Serving multiple masters is impossible. Christ certainly supported strong family connections.

1. Calculating the Cost First Priority Such connections, however, receive strength from unshakable foundations. That foundation means loving God unreservedly, first and foremost. God disallows every barrier, interruption, or distraction. Discipleship exacts the supreme price: undivided loyalty to Christ.

Luke 14:27 NKJV “ ‘And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me cannot be My disciple.’ ” The Cost of Discipleship 2. Responding to the Cost

Bearing Our Cross Discipleship means accepting Christ as Savior and Lord. Following Jesus means that you are ready to undergo the same suffering that Christ did. Christ Himself has assigned him or her a cross, without which they absolutely cannot become His disciple.

2. Responding to the Cost Bearing Our Cross Conversion releases believers from the burdens of sin, not from the responsibilities of discipleship. By taking the name of Christ and by publicly revealing that choice through baptism, every believer must be aware that discipleship comes with a cost.

2. Responding to the Cost Disciplined Response The cost of discipleship involves discipline. Every impulse, every imagination, every ambition, and every desire must be submitted to Christ. Every possession, physical or invisible, every talent and ability, and everything of value must be under Christ’s command.

2. Responding to the Cost Disciplined Response What we don’t surrender to Him can, and inevitably will, become an idol, with the potential to lead us astray. “Never must he allow his attention to be diverted by amusements, luxuries, or ease. All his habits and passions must be brought under the strictest discipline.” —The Acts of the Apostles 311.

The Cost of Discipleship 3. Comparing the Cost Luke 18:28-30 NKJV “ ‘See we have left all and followed You.’ So He said… ‘There is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.’ ”

3. Comparing the Cost The Rewards of Discipleship The Rewards of discipleship may likewise be measured through comparison with the costs. Those costs may include emotional suffering, social rejection, physical torture, financial deprivation, imprisonment, and death itself.

3. Comparing the Cost The Rewards of Discipleship The cost of following Jesus can be high, perhaps the costliest thing that anyone can do. But one thing is sure: whatever we gain in this life, whatever we accomplish, whatever we make for ourselves, it is only temporary. It is something that will not last. It will vanish and vanish forever.

3. Comparing the Cost The Rewards of Discipleship We have the promise, the hope, of redemption, of a new life in a new world, one without sin, suffering, and death. At the same time, because we have been given this hope, this promise we seek to point others to the same hope, the same promise.

The Cost of Discipleship Final Words Thus, we ask, Where are the reapers? Where are those willing to come alongside Christ and share the risks? Will you accept God’s invitation not to only be a disciple but to make disciples, regardless of the cost to yourself?
