Each one of us must count the cost of being a Follower of Jesus Christ. For a true disciple of His recognizes and acknowledges the sacrifice, work, and suffering for the Gospel it takes to be called a Christian. This commitment is not for the wishy-washy or weak in Spirit, for we need to consider how the consequences of this decision will affect our everyday life…and it may require a giving up of everything near and dear to us. That’s because, anything that holds value to us, but distracts us from following Jesus with all our heart, soul, and strength, renders us unworthy of the Gospel in His eyes.
