Experiencing Life with Jesus: Radical Obedience
Luke 9:23 “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” (NIV)
JESUS:
John 6:38 “For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.” (NIV)
- He never wavered on the road of obedience and sacrifice.
John 12:27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.” (NIV)
THE CROWD:
- They chose the path of least resistance.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
- What is getting in the way of your obedience?
- Where is the path of least resistance calling you?
- What road will you choose?
Philippians 2:5-8 “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” (NIV)
- JESUS WALKED THE ROAD TO HIS DEATH FOR YOU.
- WILL YOU WALK THE ROAD OF OBEDIENCE FOR HIM?
