Oh yeah, before I continue, I should probably mention that KYCK is a Katoomba Christian Convention for highschoolers, and this year's theme was Follow; the talks were on Luke 9-19.
a random (mostly) rhyming summary of talks 4-6
case one: the story of a scandalous son*
didn't think his father could forgive what he'd done
but the father was filled with nothing but joy,
compassion and love for his lost and found boy
through jesus we get what we never deserved
and not what we think we've earned
case two: the story of a rich young man
reluctant to let go of all the things he had
"who then can be saved?" asked those who heard
"what is impossible with men is possible with God"**
money or jesus: who is your boss?
The way to life is the way of the cross
case three: the story of a short tax collector
who climbed up a tree to see jesus better
sinner welcomed jesus and counted the cost
for the son of man came to seek and to save what was lost***
'he is no fool
who gives what he cannot keep
to gain what he cannot lose' -Jim Elliot
