Take My Life Luke 9:18-26

“Take my life” may spell tragedy  Elijah, 1 K.19  Jonah (4:3) Spiritual sense: triumph  Summary of Luke 9:18-26 A gift to be received A life to be lived A cause to be served

I. The Savior, 18-20

Satan discourages us over rejection of gospel  Our job is not success, but ‘so doing’ (Lk.12:43) Elijah, 1 K.19 Elijah: 1 God: 7000 Elijah, 1 K.19 Elijah: 1 God: 7000 Ezekiel, Ezk.3 Results? Report Ezekiel, Ezk.3 Results? Report

Jesus / Apostles taught thousands  Most said ‘No!’  Most did not know Jesus 18-19, crowds: Expected OT heroes ♦Elijah, Mal.4:5; 1 K.17:14 ♦Jeremiah 20, ‘YOU’: “Anointed (Messiah) of God” Lk.2:26 Did not believe He would die... Jn.1:11 Jn.3:19-20

I. The Savior, II. The Shock, 21-22

“Gag order” (21): greatest news in world Two Explanations 1 Apostles w/o HS are ignorant (44-45; 18:31-33) 2 Audience views ‘Messiah’ as political figure. Jn.6:15

Shock (22): even Messiah says “Take My life…” 1 Son of Man: 88x in NT; Dn.7: Must suffer many things: Is.53 3 Be rejected: unworthy/unfit…wanting 4 Elders / CP / Scribes: Sanhedrin. 20:17 5 Killed… No earthly splendor. Mk.9:10

I. The Savior, III. The Statutes, II. The Shock, 21-22

1. People (all…if anyone)  Mk.16:15 Jesus excludes no one; some exclude themselves Personal decision; no one can follow Him for us Personal decision; no one can follow Him for us Jn.21: Co.9:27

2. Priority (desires)  No force except by default: choose  Rabies “I won’t do anything” THIS IS A CHOICE. Mt.12:30 “I won’t do anything” THIS IS A CHOICE. Mt.12:30 To decide on nothing is to choose spiritual death

3. Pursuit (to come after Me)  Mt.4:10  Satan still tries to lead  Peter, Mt.16:22-23  Some disciples do not follow Acts 20:30 1 Tim.5:15 Lk.9:62 Jn.6:66

4. Prohibition (let him deny himself) Deny  Opposite of confess (acknowledge): Peter: Confessed (v.20) Denied (22:54-62) Peter: Confessed (v.20) Denied (22:54-62) RYR: Confessed (18:18) Denied (18:23) RYR: Confessed (18:18) Denied (18:23)

4. Prohibition (not ‘Lent’)  Immoral behavior?  Financial integrity?  Sexually explicit material?  Adequate time in Bible study/prayer?  Quality time with family?  Fulfilled duties of calling?  Have I just lied? Selfexclusion

5. Pain (take up cross) After announcing His cross, He announces theirs  Ours is not literal; it is real (6:22)  Following Christ: self-sacrifice (24-25; 14:26-27) Soul: priceless; one life; 12:19-21 Whole world: won’t offset loss; 16:19…

6. Perseverance (daily)  Food, Lk.11:3  Teaching, Lk.19:47  Die, 1 Co.15:31 Some things we WANT to do daily Spiritual things? Growth? Concern?

7. Pattern (follow Me) Luke 5: Count the cost, 9:57-58 First things first, 9:59-60 Don’t look back, 9:61-62

7. Pattern (follow Me) Most plan to follow Him to heaven without following Him on earth  Jesus gave disciples full disclosure  Glory is conditional (Lk.18:22, 28-30) Terrible earthly consequences Glory out of this world (26)
