Luke 14-17, John 11 – Day 292 of the One Year Chronological Bible Plan

>> Jesus Calls us to complete surrender (Luke 14:25-35). Counting the cost and placing everything under his lordship is the disciples rhythm.

>> Jesus pursues the lost (Luke 15). Am I approachable to those who are lost (v. 1)? Am I spending time with those who are lost (v. 2)? Am I going after those that are lost (v. 4)? Am I filled with compassion for the lost (v. 20)? Am I celebrating the lost when they are found?

>> We must faithfully steward earthly resources with wisdom and generosity. Luke 16.

>> Forgive repeatedly and serve faithfully without seeking recognition. Luke 17:1-10. Jesus commend confrontation of sin but quick and regular forgiveness.

>> Jesus is present in our pain. John 11. Jesus wept reminds us that Jesus feels our grief and cares. And his resurrection of Lazarus reminds us that his words can powerfully bring dead things to life.

Lord, deepen my surrender. Give me your heart for the lost. Protect me from elder brother religious pride and selfish ambition. Help me lead out of devotion, pursue those far from you, and steward everything your’ve entrusted to us.
