luke 14:31-32
the next verse is the critical one. it pulls verses 28-32 together, but we will leave them for tomorrow. today let's think about how practical Jesus is in both these passages.
In verses 28 to 30 he basically says, hey, don't look like a fool, make sure you know what you're getting into before you get into it.
In verses 31-32 he basically says, find out whether you got enough ammo before you start shooting at people. if not, find a way to save your butt.
Not the kind of stuff you would expect to come from Jesus' mouth. But that's Jesus. He doesn't do what you expect...
more tomorrow.
