A Call to Discipleship (Matthew 4:18-22)
In the midst of this present darkness, Jesus Christ came as the “Light of the world” to reveal truth to a sin entranced, sin darkened, sin enslaved humanity. His mission was to reveal God and rescue sinners from His own wrath. He came with a message of hope, a message of judgement, and a message of repentance. And it is a message that He would entrust to His people. A people He would call out for Himself. A people who would follow Him and be His heralds; to be His lights in the world. But it is being light in a dark world, that means it is not an easy call, though it is an extraordinary one. It is a call that comes with a price, but following the example of One who has gone before and paid that price. It is a call count the things eternal more precious the passing treasures of this world. That is to say ... The call to discipleship is a call to forsake all to follow Christ. In our passage this morning, Matthew 4:18-22, I want you to notice: 3 Aspects of the Call to Discipleship. (1) Call to Common People (2) Call to an Extraordinary Task (3) Call that comes with a cost.
