THE COST OF BEING A DISCIPLE

This just HIT me once again and I thank God for

always reminding and teaching me how to really

FOLLOW HIM. And I just want this to share as well to you.

Thank You Jesus! The GLORY, HONOR and PRAISES to YOU JESUS!

Being a Disciple

(Matthew 10.37,38)

    ²⁶You cannot be my disciple, unless you love me more than you love your father and mother, your wife and children, and your brothers and sisters. You cannot come with me unless you love me more than you love your own life.

    ²⁷You cannot be my disciple unless you carry your own cross and come with me.

    ²⁸Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. What is the first thing you will do? Won't you sit down and figure out how much it will cost and if you have enough money to pay for it? ²⁹Otherwise, you will start building the tower, but not be able to finish. Then everyone who sees what is happening will laugh at you. ³⁰They will say, "You started building, but could not finish the job."

    ³¹What will a king do if he has only ten thousand soldiers to defend himself against a king who is about to attack him with twenty thousand soldiers? Before he goes out to battle, won't he first sit down and decide if he can win? ³²If he thinks he won't be able to defend himself, he will send messengers and ask for peace while the other king is still a long way off. ³³So then, you cannot be my disciple unless you give away everything you own.
