Luke 14:33 - Jesus Our All in All.

Luke 14:33 (NKJV) So likewise, whoever of 
you does not forsake all that he has cannot be 
My disciple.  

Luke 14:33 (AMP) So then, any of you who 
does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, 
give up, say good-bye to) all that he has cannot 
be My disciple.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   My granddaughter Allie loves to collect 
stuffed animals. Whenever Im going on a trip, 
shell say, Papa, bring me back a stuffed 
animal. Awhile back I was on a trip and made a video 
of some stuffed animals for Allie. Then I 
called to ask her which one she liked. 
   Papa, Im not obsessed with stuffed 
animals anymore, she said. 
   Oh, really?
   Im just obsessed with talking with 
you. 
   That warmed my heart. I think we all 
should say to God, Lord, Im obsessed with 
talking with You, walking with You, hearing from 
You, and knowing You. 
   Disciples of Jesus must turn the title 
deed of their lives over to Christ. Jesus said, 
You cannot become my disciple without giving up 
everything you own (Luke 14:33 NLT). The New King 
James Version says, Whoever of you does not 
forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. 
Its a reminder that we are actually not owners, 
we are stewards. Everything we have will be 
passed on to someone else one day. 
   Does that mean its a sin to have a 
car, or a house, or clothes, or some money in the 
bank? Of course not. This verse could be 
translated, If you want to be My disciple, surrender 
your claim to everything in life. Its a 
recognition that God is the owner. God is in control of 
it. We recognize that we are just stewards over 
it for a period of time. 
   It is not wrong to have a career, but it 
is wrong if your career has you. It is not 
wrong to have possessions, but it can be wrong if 
your possessions have you. Your only real passion 
and obsession in life should be Christ. All 
these other things have their place - but not the 
most important place. [Greg Laurie from Harvest 
Ministries; https://www.harvestdaily.com]
