Are you just following Jesus online? Discipleship in a click-and-scroll world (Luke 9; Leviticus 26–27)

ChatGPT-created digital painting in bold oil palette-knife style showing Yeshua walking resolutely toward first-century Jerusalem and the Temple while would-be disciples hesitate behind Him—one near a shelter, one turning toward a burial scene, and one looking back while holding a plow. A Torah scroll, sacrificial sheep, and field marker evoke Leviticus 26–27. Text overlay reads, “Are you just following Jesus online? Discipleship in a click-and-scroll world (Luke 9; Leviticus 26–27).” Hallel.info watermark.

What does it really mean when Yeshua (Jesus) says, “Follow Me”? In Luke 9 and the closing chapters of Leviticus, we discover that Biblical faith is not intellectual curiosity or a social‑media “follow,” but a costly, urgent, all‑in commitment. This study traces the pattern of hear, commit, do. We unpack Yeshua’s hard words about delayed obedience, and explore vows, tithes, and Jubilee as Heaven’s training ground for a people who keep their word because they carry the Name of the King before the world.

What happens when we take Heaven’s mercy for granted (Jeremiah 16–17)

What happens when we take Heaven's mercy for granted (Jeremiah 16-17)

“It’s good to be king!” Except when invaders are about to conquer your kingdom because of your predecessors forgot Who put the crown on their heads and Who gave them the Land they ruled. The closing chapters of the Bible book of Vayiqra (Leviticus) foretell of Israel’s dystopian future, but it didn’t have to be that way. The companion passage to the Torah reading בְּהַר Behar / בְּחֻקֹּתַי Bechukotai (“on the mountain” / “in My statutes,” Leviticus 25–27), shows a moment just before that horror arrived when a king tried to reverse centuries of oppression in the Promised Land, Heaven’s mercy for Israel and the world.

Happiness is mourning unrighteousness, rejoicing over forgiveness

In part 2 of our deep dive into Messiah Yeshua’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) and Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-36), we explore the Beatitudes and discover how we can find true happiness through sorrow over life apart from the Creator and joy over Heaven’s Anointed One who heals the pain.
