This section points to ONE indispensable QUALITY… It’s discipleship boiled down to its most basic attribute …to the ONE necessity all disciples must have. Without THIS, one cannot be a disciple.

The original disciples are looking out on the vast sea of people… and we could sympathize if they’re a bit star-struck… because, suddenly they’re famous (in the entourage!) And THIS parable is IN PART to help them see the crowds in a new way… the masses are NOT exactly what the disciples THINK THEY ARE. Many people in the CROWD are not really getting it; some are DISTRACTED…and THAT is a VERY MODERN PROBLEM: we’re facing a CRISIS OF FOCUS in this “age of distraction”…and that’s why this parable can be a big help to US…can redirect our spiritual distraction.
Let’s look at
1) the DIVINE METHOD FOR FIGHTING DISTRACTION, and
2) the SINGULAR TAKE-AWAY that could save your life.
