The Lord, the Twelve, and the Crowd

Remember when you became a Christian? Aside from being overwhelmed with thankfulness over the fact that your sins were forgiven, what you really needed to know was, “How does Jesus now expect me to live?”

That's really among the most basic of questions, isn't it? After, “Who is God?” is, “How does God want me to live?”

And that's what we see Jesus telling his disciples starting here in Luke chapter 6. He's been declaring that he's the Christ, proclaiming forgiveness of sins, telling people to follow him. And these disciples have believed in him and were now following him.

And so, the question that remained to be answered is, What exactly does it look like to follow him in your life? How ought we to live as his disciples?
