Disciples tackle the urgent matters of their times

Morning: Psalm 78:1-39; Joel 1:15-2:11; Revelation 19:1-10

Evening: Psalm 78:40-72; Luke 14:25-35 

“None of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions,” says Jesus. Is this not madness? But Jesus is confronting the great religious and political challenges of his times and these may cost his disciples everything, even their lives. On Remembrance Day, we accept that it is not madness to give up everything to break the power of evil and death. COVID-19 is a comparable challenge for some medical people. Sometimes to give up everything is simply the right thing to do. For the urgent matters of our own times, Jesus still needs disciples.
