As we continue our series—“In the Steps of the Savior”—we have come to the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Luke. Jesus is just getting started with His earthly ministry and His fame is growing. Already, He is known for His unmatched power and authority—power to heal those with diseases, authority to cast out demons, and the aptitude to teach like no one else in His day. We have come to the place in His-story where He is ready to call some of His followers to a greater level of commitment. In our passage today, we’ll be observing not only the actions and attitudes of some of these men who were candidates for becoming Jesus’ apostles, but we will also consider the high price of following Him.
