In verse 8 He said, “I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs” Though he would not get up and give because he is his friend, since the man asks strongly and keeps coming and asking him to lend it, he cannot help getting up and giving, if only because he is bothered.

Looking at the word, it says that an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another. At that time Jesus said to His disciples, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy” (Luke 12:1), and He said, “There is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known” (Luke 12:2).

It is a matter of how one becomes a disciple, and looking at the text, becoming a disciple of Jesus is not an easy thing. Being saved by faith is easy, but becoming a disciple seems tremendously hard. “Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them” (Luke 14:25). The Lord taught many things through some occasion or event. Jesus was going along the way with a multitude. At that time He looked at that multitude and spoke. “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:26–27).

And with that He says, “So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:33). The Lord is speaking about becoming a disciple of the Lord. When a person tries to do something by his own strength, he keeps getting caught in snares and it is hard. In fact, emptying oneself is more important than a person having some will. It means that rather than saying that one can do something, it is right to empty oneself and live the life of faith relying on God.
