The Sovereign Call of Christ and Our Discipleship
We did not have time to focus on these two sections last week, which we will do today. What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? It doesn't mean that you move out to the woods and live in total isolation so that you read your Bible and pray all day. It doesn't mean necessarily that you leave family and friends and become some sort of a missionary. But Jesus does call you to sacrifice and consider the hardships of truly following Him. He demands of you absolute obedience. He calls you to show mercy rather than pretend like you are really holy and special. The two sections that we will examine can be summarized as follows: Christ Calls You to a Sacrificial, Absolute, and Merciful Obedience. We will look at our text in two parts. First from Matthew 8:18-22, Jesus Calls You to a Sacrificial and Absolute Obedience. Second from Matthew 9:9-13, Jesus Calls You to a Merciful Obedience.
