LUKE 14:25-35
The Cost of Being a Disciple25Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and
turning to them he said:
26If anyone comes to me and does not hatefather and mother, wife and children, brothers
and sistersyes, even their own lifesuch a
person cannot be my disciple.27And whoever does not carry their cross and
follow me cannot be my disciple.

LUKE 14:25-35
28Suppose one of you wants to build a tower.Wont you first sit down and estimate the cost
to see if you have enough money to complete
it?
29For if you lay the foundation and are not able
to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule
you,
30saying, This person began to build and wasnt
able to finish.

LUKE 14:25-35
31Or suppose a king is about to go to war
against another king. Wont he first sit down
and consider whether he is able with ten
thousand men to oppose the one coming
against him with twenty thousand?
32If he is not able, he will send a delegation
while the other is still a long way off and will
ask for terms of peace.
33In the same way, those of you who do not
give up everything you have cannot be
my disciples.

LUKE 14:25-35
34Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how
can it be made salty again?
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manurepile; it is thrown out. Whoever has ears to
hear, let them hear.

The Multitudes: FALSE
Expectancy (Luke 14:25-35)
When Jesus left the Pharisees house,
great crowds followed Him, but Hewas not impressed by their
enthusiasm. He knew that most of
those in the crowd were not the least
bit interested in spiritual things.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
8/51
Some wanted only to see miracles,
others heard that He fed the hungry,
and a few hoped He would overthrowRome and establish Davids
promised kingdom.
They were expecting the wrong things.
Jesus turned to the multitude and
preached a sermon that
deliberately thinned out the ranks.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
9/51
He made it clear that, when it comes
to personal discipleship, He is more
interested in quality thanquantity [not a CROWD].
In the matter of saving lost souls,He wants His house to be filled
(Luke 14:23); but in the matter of
personal discipleship, He wants onlythose who are willing
to pay the price.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
10/51
Jesus SEEMS to make adistinction between salvation and
discipleship.
(1) Salvation is open to all who will
come by faith, while discipleship isfor believers willing to pay a price.
(2) Salvation means coming to thecross and trusting Jesus Christ,
while discipleship means carrying
the cross & following Jesus Christ.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt

Jesus wants as many sinners saved
as possible (that My house may be
filled), but He cautions us not to takediscipleship lightly; and in the three
parables He gave, He made it clear
that there is
a price to pay.

To begin with, we must love Christ
supremely, even more than welove our own flesh and blood
(Luke 14:26-27).
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
14/51
The word hate does not suggestpositive antagonism but rather
to love less (see Genesis 29:30-31;
Malachi 1:2-3; and Matthew 10:37).
Our love for Christ must be so strong
that all other love is like hatred in
comparison.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
15/51
What does it mean to carry the
cross? It means daily
identification with Christ inshame, suffering, and
surrenderto Gods will.It means death to self, to our own
plans and ambitions, and a
willingness to serve Him as He
directs (John 12:23-28).
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
16/51
Jesus gave three parables to explain
why He makes such costly demands
on His followers:
(1) the man building a tower,
(2) the king fighting a war,
(3) and, the salt losingits flavor.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
17/51
The usual interpretation is that
believers are represented by the
man building the tower and the king
fighting the war, and we had better
count the cost before we start, lest
we start and not be able to finish.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
18/51
But I [warren wiersbee notes] agree with
Campbell Morgan that the builderand the king
represent NOT the believer but
Jesus.
He is the One who must
countthe cost,
to see whether we are the kind ofmaterial He can use to build the
church and battle the enemy.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
19/51
Regarding discipleship:
He wants no falseexpectancy,
no illusions, no bargains.
He wants to use us as stones for
building His church, soldiers forbattling His enemies, and salt for
bettering His
world; and He is looking for quality.

YOU MUST forsake all for Him, bear
shame and reproach for Him, and
let your love for
Him control you.

The Battleship and the Lighthouse
In the darkest part of the night, a ships captain
cautiously piloted his warship through thefog-shrouded waters. With straining eyes he
scanned the hazy darkness, searching for
dangers lurking just out of sight. His worst fears
were realized when he saw a bright lightstraight ahead. It appeared to be a vessel on a
collision course with his ship.
To avert disaster he quickly radioed the oncoming
vessel. This is Captain Jeremiah Smith, his
voiced crackled over the radio. Please alter
your course ten degrees south! Over.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
23/51
To the captains amazement, the foggy image did
not move. Instead, he heard back on the radio,
Captain Smith. This is Private Thomas
Johnson. Please alter your courseten degrees north! Over.
Appalled at the audacity of the message, the
captain shouted back over the radio, Private
Johnson, this is Captain Smith, and I order you
to immediately alter your course ten degrees
south! Over.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
24/51
A second time the oncoming light did not budge.
With all due respect, Captain Smith, came the
privates voice again, I order you to alter your
course immediately ten degrees north! Over.Angered and frustrated that this impudent sailor
would endanger the lives of his men and crew,
the captain growled back over the radio,
Private Johnson. I can have you court-
martialed for this! For the last time, I command
you on the authority of the United States
government to alter your course ten degrees to
the south! I am a battleship!
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
25/51
The privates final transmission was chilling:
Captain Smith, sir. Once again with all due
respect, I command you to alter your course ten
degrees to the north! I am a lighthouse!
Many of us in todays world have little respect for
authority. We operate as if rules can be (or
should be) changed to fit our personal needs
and desires.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
26/51
Commercials egg us on:
Have it your way. In reality, we cant always have
it our way. We have to conform our lives to a
higher truth, a higher authoritythe Word ofGod.
Gods truth is like a lighthouse. Its not going to
change to accommodate us. We are the ones
who must change to conform our lives to what
God wants for us.
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
27/51
Jesus is also like a lighthouse. The Bible teaches
that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and
today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He will
always be there for us. He is absolutelydependable. We Christians must conform our
lives to his will for us. If he tells us to alter our
courses, we have no choice but to obey. Thats
what being a disciple is all about.

MAIN IDEA:
The Clarity of the Costof Discipleship
7/29/2019 Reveal Week 8 for Upload _ the Builder and King and Salt
29/51
Discipleship demands constant
reference to the plan.
A man that lives as he likes, by
impulse, by inclination, or ignobly
yielding to the pressure ofcircumstances and saying, I could
not help myself, I was carried away
by the flood, or Everybody round
about me is doing it, and I could not
be singularwill never build
anything worth living in.

say. There must be continual

NOT the believer but Jesus Christ.
He is the One who must

are the kind of material He can use to

A Koreans Message for the Filipinos18 July 2008 written by JaeyounKim
(PART 1)
Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the
Philippines. Do you really think the corruption is the problem
of the Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that
the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for Filipinos
were very rich in Asia. We envy Filipinos. Koreans really
wanted to be well off like Filipinos. Many Koreans died offamine. My father and brother also died because of famine.
Korean government was very corrupt and is still very
corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to
develop dramatically because Koreans really did their best
for the common good with their heart burning withpatriotism.

40 Years ago President Park took over the government to
reform Korea. He tried to borrow money from other
countries, but it was not possible to get a loan and attract a
foreign investment because the economic situation of SouthKorea was so bad. Korea had only three factories. So,
President Park sent many mine workers and nurses to
Germany so that they could send money to Korea to build a
factory. They had to go through horrible experience.

In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow money.
Hundred of Koreans in Germany came to the airport to
welcome him and cried there as they saw the President
Park. They asked to him, President, when can we be welloff? That was the only question everyone asked to him.
President Park cried with them and promised them that
Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea,
and the President of Germany got the strong impression on
them and lent money to Korea. So, President Park was ableto build many factories in Korea . He always asked Koreans
to love their country from their heart.

COST OF DISCIPLESHIP, someone
wrote: it's just my realization thatdiscipleship is not easy or hard but its
impossible...
only by the Grace of God can
it happen ...
