Call To Die

Then [Jesus] said to them all, "If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it. (Luke 9:23-24, HCSB)

"Disciples of Moses"

And they reviled him, saying, "You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. (John 9:28 ESV)

they = the Jewish religious leaders (those who should have taken leadership in making disciples of the Messiah)

reviled: the idea of being Jesus' disciples should have filled the religious leaders with praise; instead, it filled them with bitterness and anger

him = the blind man who had been healed and who had only sought to give an honest testimony of what his healer had done for him

"You are His disciple": this statement is not quite accurate (not yet), because the healed man did not yet have adequate knowledge of Jesus' identity

"we are disciples of Moses": this statement is false; if they were true disciples of Moses, then they would have followed the Messiah, to whom Moses pointed
