Following JesusSample

Day 1 Devotional
In this age of social media, the word follow has come to mean taking an interest in someone on social media and keeping up with their social media posts.
The dictionary definition of the word, follow, however, is this: To go or to come after a person or a thing, to pursue someone, or to go in the same direction as another person.
The word also means to act according to an instruction, to pay close attention to someone, or to understand the meaning of what someone is saying or doing. So, for example, if I say to you, "Do you follow what I am saying now about the word follow," what I mean is: "Do you understand what I am saying now about the word follow?"
The NT has all these dictionary meanings of the word follow in view when it refers to following Jesus. A gospel view of Luke 9:51-62 helps us to see this in three ways.
Over the course of this 5-Day Plan, from Luke 9:51-62, we’ll explore how this passage give us a gospel understanding that we can outright decline to follow Jesus, or we can allow ourselves to be distracted from following Jesus, or more importantly, we can be determined to follow Jesus.
