Luke 6:17-49

What Does a Disciple of Christ Look Like According to Luke 6:17-49?

Blessed are you who�	You will receive�	Woe to you who�	You will receive�
Are poor	The Kingdom of Heaven.	Are rich	Nothing more than what you already have.
Hunger now	Satisfaction.	Are well fed	You will become hungry.
Weep now	Laughter.	Laugh now.	You will mourn and weep.
Are hated, excluded, insulted, and rejected because of Jesus	A great reward in heaven. Rejoice.	Are admired and complimented.	The false prophets were also admired but they were judged by God.
The disciple of Jesus Christ sacrifices their lives today for the reward of heaven tomorrow.		Unbelievers sacrifice the reward of heaven tomorrow for the reward of life today.

Prove that you belong to Jesus Christ. Those who belong to Jesus’ bear good fruit. They obey His words and follow His commands. It is impossible for them to bear bad fruit for they are connected to the good vine. “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart (NIV)”. What is good fruit?

Be merciful to others, just as your Father is merciful to you. If you are merciful to others, your reward will be great in heaven, and you will look like you are children of the Father. He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. What does it look like to be merciful?

Love your neighbor no matter how they treat you.

Do acts of kindness and goodness for them, treating them the way you want to be treated. If you give much to others, the Father will give to you abundantly. If you give little to others, the Father will give little to you.
Pray for them.
Do not seek justice against them if they have done you wrong.
Give generously to everyone who asks of you without expecting to be paid back.

Do not judge your neighbor. Your Father in heaven will treat you in accordance to how you treat others. If you forgive others, you will be forgiven. If you don’t judge others, you won’t be judged.

Become more like Christ.

Be willing to learn how to be like Jesus.� If Jesus, the Son of God, our teacher, is a student of the Father’s ways, all the more should we be a student of Jesus’ ways. A man who claims he doesn’t need to learn anything about Jesus is not a disciple of His. If you are blind to the ways of Christ, how on earth can you teach anyone about them?
Take the plank out of your eye. Examine your heart. Discover where you need to change. Prayerfully make those changes with the support of godly men and women. Then you can lovingly help your brothers and sisters in Christ remove the specks from their eyes.

If you do not bear good fruit, you are evil. An evil man disobeys Jesus and ignores His commands. “An evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of (NIV).” Such a man is a fool, building his life on the foundation of sand. When the storms of life come his way, his life will collapse.

Imagine trying to fill to capacity a container with a substance. You shake it, push it down, and do whatever you can to fill the container to the very top. That is the kind of goodness the Father gives to those who are kind to others.
