Youth Section THE HIGH COST OF DISCIPLESHIP Sandeep Poonen Question: How do I know if I am a disciple of Jesus? Answer: This is a very important question, and the answer to which has shaped my Christian life. So let me share a brief thought on this: First of all, not all those who profess to be Christians are disciples: A disciple is an English word that means one who is a follower and student of a mentor, teacher, or other figure. Now there are more than 1 billion people who claim to be Christians. But that does not mean that they all follow Jesus by studying Him and His life. Jesus Himself said this repeatedly. Let me point you to just one such instance in Matthew 7:21-23. Here, we find that even some who prophesy and cast out demons and perform many miracles in the NAME OF JESUS might be exposed as not even knowing Jesus. We find that these people were not followers (disciples) of Jesus because they practiced sin (they didn t just fall into sin, but made a practice of it) even though they performed miracles in the name of Jesus. So that alone should convince us that taking sin seriously is so much more important than even doing great miracles for Jesus. Here are 3 key conditions to being a disciple, prescribed by Jesus Himself in Luke 14:25-35 1. Your love for Me must far exceed your love for your family/ loved ones (Luke 14:25-26) The picture that I have in my mind is a scale with two weighing pans. I am asked to put the weight of my love for my closest/most precious ones on one side. And I am asked to put my love and devotion for Jesus on the other pan. And I must HONESTLY ask myself if my love for Jesus FAR OUTWEIGHS all the rest, because Jesus is genuinely far more precious to me. Now please note that what is being weighed is not an emotional, romantic, or sentimental love. We can have emotional feelings when it comes to 38 Poh-sam-gn-Iƒ s^{_p-hcn 2015

our children and our parents. God created all our emotions and it is His gift to us. But I must ensure that there is NO PLACE IN MY HEART for their interests to distract me from achieving God s purposes for me. Parents and children can sometimes play on our heart s emotional strings to prevent us from being sold-out committed disciples of Jesus. We must always radically protect the unique place Jesus holds in our hearts, and seek to only please one Person - and that is Jesus. 2. You must give up all of your selfish interests for the rest of your life (Luke 14:27-29) The picture that Jesus uses here is about a man who wanted to build a tower but didn t count the cost completely, so could only get as far as setting the foundation and then had to give up. Just imagine that this person might have paid a good sum of money to buy the plot of land, then hired an architect, made detailed plans, and even bought materials and laid the foundation. But because this person didn t count the cost of the WHOLE tower and did not see the building of the tower to completion, he was considered a failure. Jesus used this picture to illustrate how some people cannot be His disciple. And this not only speaks to the specific choice one has to make to put to death one s selfish interests, but just as much to a lifelong commitment to this choice. If not, we are like the rocky soil that Jesus talked about where they initially receive God s Word with joy but it is temporary and they fall away with persecution or affliction (Matthew 13:20-21). The YOUTH SECTION Bible is clear in several passages that only those who hold fast to the end get to share in the life of Jesus (e.g. Hebrews 3:14). So Jesus asks us if we are committed to putting to death all of our selfish interests FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. We will find that many who may even preach about the crucified life may not be disciples because their own lives do not demonstrate the resolve to live the rest of their lives continuing to deny their selfish interests (even after 50 years being a Christian). 3. You must give up ownership over everything you have in this world; nothing in this world must possess you (Luke 14:30-33) The illustration that Jesus uses here is about a king with an army of 10,000 going against a king that has 20,000. And if the king with 10,000 doesn t think he can win, he will send for a peace treaty with the other king. Now there are different ways this picture could be interpreted, but this is the way this story speaks to me. I see myself as the king with 10,000, who has been given various things in my life (like my house, my vehicles, my books, my furniture, etc.). But in this life, I will find that there is another king who has much more possessions than I ever will (20,000 versus my 10,000), and this king is the devil. The devil is called the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), and he even offered Jesus all the kingdoms of this world and their glory (Matthew 4:8-9). He had a lot of things to offer even Jesus. So the devil now comes against all the things that I have and either offers me more (because he has much more s^{_p-hcn 2015 Poh-sam-gn-Iƒ 39

YOUTH SECTION than I ever will), or he threatens to take away any or all of the 10,000 things that I have. As we see in the story of Job, God does give the devil permission at times to attack and destroy the perishable things that we have in this life. In Job s case, he pretty much lost all of his property when the devil was permitted to attack him (Job 1). So the question when it comes to being a disciple of Jesus is what I will do when the god of this world comes at me and tells me that he will attack me and take away my things. Will I sign a peace treaty with the devil and not become a sold-out disciple of Jesus (because something on this earth has a hold on me and possesses me), or will I tell the devil that he can have every last one of my things because I have no possessions (I don t hold anything that God has given me for food, shelter, or even just my enjoyment, as my possession)? This mindset is also described in Hebrews 10:34 - For you accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one. So we don t hold any of the things in this life as possessions (that possess us). We have counted the cost and are at rest knowing that we have a better possession with Jesus Christ. As I read these 3 conditions, I think there might be a lot of surprises when God judges the thoughts and motives of all hearts, because it s so much more than a prayer prayed or a decision made, and more than living a nice, good, moral life. It s about a lifelong commitment to a special kind of relationship with Jesus that makes us His disciple. So the priority we put on pleasing Jesus must be incredibly more serious and important than the priority that we put on things like ensuring that our children receive the best education and financial future, and ensuring that our aging parents are happy and comfortable. And we must make a lifelong commitment (every day for the rest of our lives) to denying our selfish desires and embarking on this daily life of suffering over all our selfishness. And we must prioritize the resolve in our hearts that we will NEVER make a peace treaty with the devil even if he threatens to take away everything that we have. So we will hold all of the things that we have with open palms, fighting to ensure that not even one thing in our lives (not our house, not our jobs, not our quality of life, not our modes of transportation) turns into our possession where it possesses and has a hold over us. This is a very high standard, but with Jesus all things are possible. Those who are rich in that they have things to hold on to, will find this impossible. But if we count all that God gave up for us (Romans 8:32; 1 Timothy 1:15), we will find the strength and resolve to choose this life and prioritize Jesus far more than everything else and everyone else, including our own selves.

TESTING FOR GOSSIP In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, Do you know what I just heard about your friend? Hold on a minute, Socrates replied. Before telling me anything Id like you to pass a little test. Its called the Triple Filter Test. Triple filter? That s right, Socrates continued. Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you re going to say. That s why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true? No, the man said, Actually I just heard about it and All right, said Socrates. So you don t really know if its true or not. Now let us try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good? No, on the contrary So, Socrates continued, you want to tell me something bad about him, but you re not certain its true. You may still pass the test though, because there s one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me? No, not really Well, concluded Socrates, if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?
