In our exploration of Luke 9, we encounter a profound challenge to our understanding of discipleship. Jesus asks His followers a pivotal question: 'Who do you say I am?' This moment marks a transition from simply following Jesus to truly understanding the cost of discipleship. We're reminded that knowing Christ isn't just about intellectual assent, but about a deepening surrender to His lordship. The passage emphasizes that to follow Jesus, we must deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. _______________________ Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.
