Reflections with Andy - Luke 9: 57-62 - Excuses

from Andy Talks · host Andy Stoddard

In Luke 9:57–62, Jesus challenges would-be followers who hesitate with excuses—whether comfort, family duties, or other priorities—and reminds them that discipleship is costly and urgent. His words may sound harsh, but they press us to see that there will always be reasons to delay obedience, and following him must come before everything else. Like choosing our highest priority in life, we’re called to put Christ first, trusting that everything else flows from that decision. The call of Jesus isn’t “later”—it’s always now.Shameless plug: here’s a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
