Matthew 8:19-22; Luke 9:57-62
The Lord said His yoke is easy and His burden light, but it does not mean He makes easy and light demands of those who would be His followers (disciples). He also said those who follow Him in committed discipleship must be willing to deny self and take up their cross. In this lesson, the Lord encountered three "would-be" disciples - men who claimed they wanted to follow Him. However, by way of these three living illustrations (and their "excuses"), we see just how real the demand of Christian discipleship are and how few people are truly willing to commit completely to Christ's service!
In His conversation with the three "would be" disciples, we learn of the three most common barriers to total Christian commitment: (1) The Barrier of Present Resources, (2) The Barrier of Future Riches, and (3) The Barrier of Past Relationships.
