Follow Me: Session 1
Dr. John MacArthur
“The Costly Nature Of Discipleship”
John 15:14-15
It was nice to have our President John MacArthur at the helm for this opening message. It was certainly one of the best I’ve heard him preach. What was unique about this sermon was that it only had two points. But in those two points he defined the terms he was using as well as the Greek historical significance to the words he was using.
Notes:
1. Jesus Is Lord
Lord in Greek: Kurios
Synonym: Master. Master in Greek: Despotes
2. Christians Are Slaves
Slave in Greek: Doulas
Most Bibles do not correctly translate the word Doulas. When it refers a Christian’s status with God it should always be translated slave. If you lessen the meaning of slave you lessen the meaning of Lord.
The Gospel is not a “feel-good” message… it’s an invitation to slavery.
-John MacArthur
