THE DEMAND OF DISCIPLESHIP
Discipleship is about two things. The first is to be a true believer in Jesus. The second is to be a devoted follower of Jesus. Jesus taught the disciples about the demands of discipleship.
The demands are:
- Insecurity in discipleship: (Matt 8; 19-20, LK 9: 57-58): Jesus taught that one of the demands of discipleship is that there is no security attached to it. There is no personal gain or comfort because it is full of dangers and many risks. This teaching on lack of security in discipleship comes out in Jesus’ meeting with scribe. He told Jesus that he wanted to follow him. Jesus said “foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head”
- God first in discipleship: (LK 9: 59-60): Jesus taught that another demand of discipleship is that the disciple should give the first place to God where a choice has to be made between service to God and to the family. This teaching of Jesus comes out in the story where Jesus asked a young man to follow him.
