Countdown To Christmas: How To Be A Disciple (Luke 9)

Every day leading up to Christmas we will be reading, studying, and reflecting on a chapter of the Gospel of Luke. There are twenty-four days leading up to Christmas and twenty-four Chapters in Luke. We are going to enter the celebration of the birth of Jesus with a full context of his life and ministry. My hope and prayer for each of us is that we fully experience a closeness to Jesus like never before. 

In Luke 9 we essentially see the preparation of the twelve disciples for ministry through multiple stories and scenes. Not that things haven’t been serious before but following Jesus feels like it has been ratcheted up. We see Jesus through the feeding of the 5,000 use that as a teaching moment to explain the kind of Messiah he would be and what it looks like to follow him, we read about Peter John and James witnessing the glory of Jesus, seeing Moses and Elijah and speaking about Jesus’ departure from the world, several occasions they were reminded of what Jesus came to accomplish. The beauty of this is that these lessons were not just for the twelve. It prepares all who decide to follow Jesus.
