Luke 9:23-27 | Deny Yourself, Follow Me

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Luke 9:23-27 Luke 9:23-27 | Deny Yourself, Follow Me from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. JESUS IS INTRUSIVE SELF-DENIAL SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD C. S. Lewis It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. Psalm 37:4 (ESV) Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Steve Timmis A man struggling under the weight of a large piece of wood as he stumbled toward the site of his own execution. Vance Havner What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract. R. C. Sproul It doesn’t specify at what point they saw it; but there were plenty of incidents where the kingdom of God broke through in visible force: the transfiguration, the day of the resurrection, the ascension, and so on. These happenings made it clear to his own disciples that what they were counting on was indeed a reality, and they could afford not to be ashamed to be called followers of Christ.
