Service in the Kingdom Of God


Luke 9:57-62

Key Verse 9:62


1. In this passage the word “follow” is repeated three times. How important is it for one (and all) to follow Jesus? 


2. Look at verse 57. In what respect is this man’s decision laudable? (Heb 11:8)


3. Jesus’ reply in verse 58 sounds almost like a rejection. Yet why do you think Jesus responded to the man in this way? What lesson(s) is there for us to learn in following Jesus?


4. Consider the offer Jesus made to another man in verse 59 and his reply to Jesus’ offer. What is the problem(s) with his reply? How did Jesus address the problem(s)? (60)


5. In verse 61 another person made a pledge to follow Jesus, but he attached a condition to it. What does this verse tell us about the man? 


6. Think about Jesus’ reply to the man in verse 62. What happens when a man puts his hand to the plow and yet looks back (still trying to plow)? In what respect is service in the kingdom of God like plowing? Why is he (who keeps looking back) not fit for the service in the kingdom of God?
