Nehemiah 2:1-8, Ps137, Luke 9:57-62

Three Lessons from the Master

Three mini lessons from Jesus to those who would follow him: first, know that there will be a cost. No pain, no gain! If there is no cost, am I really following Jesus? Secondly, when the Spirit stirs you to a particular course of action, don’t put it off; the longer we delay the more likely we won’t do it at all. Thirdly, let the past be the past, God has forgiven – and forgotten – the sins of which we have repented. So we should forget them too.
