The Cost of Discipleship

The truth is as Christians we have been asked a similar question before.  How high does the price of discipleship have to be before we stop following? Instead of just asking for an arm or a let, Christ requires our talents, our joys, our life.  “any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:33) .  The greatness of God’s glory demands that we pay the price… even if it means our life.  Christ never claimed for a minute that this would be an easy task.  In fact, he compared it to carrying the cross which is a reminder that he had already paid this high price for us.  On the cross Christ gave his very life that we might know the glory of God.
