True disciples

Those true disciples (Lk. 14:26, 27, 33) who respond to the heavenly feast (Mt. 22:2)

and don’t make any excuse (Lk. 14:18) love the Lord, who is the King of the heavenly feast (Mt. 22:2),

more than their lives and eve to the point of hating their own father, mother,

wife, children, and brothers and sisters (Lk. 14:26).

They carry their own cross and follow the Lord (v. 27).

 They give up their own possessions and follow Him (v. 33).

Jesus’ true disciples are committed to pay the cost of discipleship in following Jesus (vv. 28-32).
