Summary The message contrasts the large crowds who praise Jesus with the few who are willing to truly follow him. While many desire the visible gifts of the Spirit or acclaim Jesus's miracles, few are willing to follow Him into suffering, accept the reproach of men, or die with Him. True discipleship requires willingly consenting to follow the narrow way, which leads to a deeper freedom.
Transcript 0:00 to learn a new song be new for almost all of you but it's a very old song um it's a really deep song so I want to to just quickly look at the words you know there were many people in jesus' time who were praising him think of those who 0:11 put their garments on the on the road they took the palm branches giving glory to him but there were very few who followed him those same people many of those same people who were so excited to clap their hands and sing along and put 0:25 the palm branches down when it came to following Jesus they did and they were the ones that even some of them even crucified him and send him to the cross and it's the same today there are many who are very happy to sing 0:36 about Jesus and Proclaim what he's done but when it comes to following him you find that there's very few in the second verse they'll say that many people speak of walking in his footsteps but when it comes to actually obeying and doing the 0:49 spirit's bidding when the Holy Spirit speaks to them in their heart they're not able to find the way there are many shouts of acclamation verse three for the signs and wonders that Jesus came can do and has done but when Jesus wants 1:02 to teach them only few will follow on if you read the gospels carefully you'll find that this was true over and over again there were crowds when there was food that was being multiplied but when it came to following him there were only 1:15 few yes they desire his gifts many people want to have gifts of the Holy Spirit to do Mighty things which God does give through his grace but when it comes to dying with Jesus there will be very few that choose the way they'll 1:28 even Rejoice over the victory that Jesus has won on Calvary and that is a permanent Victory but when it comes to going with him outside the camp like we read in Hebrews 13 and dying with him and being Forsaken and receiving the 1:41 reproach of men there are very few that want that life there are very few faithful few who follow him on the narrow way who Delight in his Commandments and will obey with willing hearts and these few are even rejected but they are his very own it's a 1:58 precious life they partakers of his suffering and they'll share a throne with him this is the life this is the only way this is the most freeing way Joyful Way To Live the Christian Life like we'll sing in the chorus Jesus has 2:10 opened this way through the veil his flesh and only few there will be who will follow and to dying Will consent will you agree consent means agree will you agree to die with Jesus today oh you'll find Freedom you'll find that 2:23 he'll set you free from the things of this Earth more and more and the Christian life will be exciting I want this life I hope you do dear friends it's a very simple Melody so you can learn with us though though the Crowds Are praising 2:39 Jesus giving glory to God's lamb look more closely and you'll notice there are few who follow him through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the veil 2:58 under only few there be who follow and to dying Will [Music] consent many people speak of walking in his footsteps here but they will not do 3:17 the spirit SP thus they canot find the way through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the veil of under only few there be who follow and to 3:35 dying Will consent hear the shouts of acclamation for the signs of one is done but when Jesus wants to teach them only 3:52 few will fall one through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the fa the under R only few there be who follow and to die well consent yes his gifts they all 4:15 desire which in Grace he does bestow but the day he speaks of dying you will choose his way to go through the flesh Christ Jesus till the veil 4:33 under only few there be who follow and to die will cons they Rejoice all Jesus Victory which on 4:49 calary won but they can't fa not abandon for reproach of men they through the fles Christ Jesus went till the veil of 5:04 under only you there be who follow and to die Will consent see the faithful few who follow hum this way and narrow way they Delight 5:23 in his Commandments and with willing Hearts oby through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the veil under only few there be who follow and 5:40 to ding Will consent see the few are now rejected yet they are his very own they partakers of his sufferings soon they'll share with him the throne 6:00 through the flesh Christ Jesus went till the veil is under only few there be who follow and to dying will con
