The Gospel of Luke 14:34-35

In this plan by renowned pastor and author Tony Evans, you’ll read how God uses you for the advancement of His Kingdom, and how to share the blessings of life in order to give more glory to God.

At the core of it, discipleship is taking care of and tending all the things Jesus commanded us. Yet how can we know what to do if we don't know His words? That is why we're exploring all of Jesus' words across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each day includes a Bible narration from Ps Mark Varughese of the words of Jesus. NOTE: the translation used in the narration is the New King James Version.

Jesus once used an everyday image to reveal an eternal truth: salt. Ordinary, overlooked, yet powerful. In Luke 14, He warned that salt can lose its essence—and when it does, it becomes useless. This devotional invites you to rediscover your identity as salt, learning how your presence can preserve good, restrain evil, and reflect Christ in a world desperate for clarity.

Following Jesus is not casual. It is costly. It requires priority, surrender, obedience, and faith. Jesus never asked people to follow Him blindly. He told them exactly what it would cost, and He told them exactly what it would give. This plan is about counting that cost honestly and choosing obedience anyway.
