Luke 9:1-27

Following Jesus requires moving beyond mere admiration to true discipleship. In Luke 9, Jesus demonstrates that discipleship involves trusting Him completely, bringing our limited resources to Him for multiplication, and denying ourselves daily. He first empowers His disciples before sending them out, teaching that our mission strength comes from Him, not ourselves. True discipleship means saying yes to Jesus daily in both belief and action, taking up our cross, and surrendering the throne of our hearts to Him. Though not always easy or comfortable, following Jesus is always faithful because He is faithful to us.
