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.

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.

God has given us counsel and instructions on how we are to conduct ourselves in the world, in our families, in our communities. He also tells us how we are to interact with Him.
