LUKE 14.26
IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE

Discipleship is fundamentally a call to allegiance. Jesus is to have first place over everything and everyone. In the gospel of Luke, the Lord mentions father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and even one’s own soul. Nothing else is to be first. Let’s read this passage. Luke 14.26.

Luke 14.26. “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
