8:18 - 8:22

Requirements of Discipleship.

The excitement caused by Jesus’ teachings and miracles should not mislead those who want to follow him. Following Jesus involves certain unavoidable conditions: 1.

Following Jesus must be immediate: once the call is received, the path and demands of the kingdom of God cannot be delayed.
