Luk 9:57 | MHM | STEP | Every Thing to Be Left for Christ This passage tells us about three different people who wanted to follow Jesus. Each person had their own reasons and excuses. Jesus uses their examples to teach what it truly means to be his disciple. He shows that following him is not always easy, and sometimes we must give up things we care about. The lesson is clear: we must put Jesus first, above comfort, family, or anything else. v. 57 : As Jesus and his followers were traveling, a man said to him, “Lord, I will follow you wherever you go” (Luke 9:57 ). This sounds like a strong promise, and Jesus wants all his disciples to be willing to follow him anywhere (Revelation 14:4 ). But it is important to count the cost before making such a promise.
