Counting The Cost

Following Jesus is a life changing decision, but Jesus never hid the cost of becoming His disciple.

Jesus did not promise that following Him would always be easy.

He called people to follow Him with their whole hearts.

To surrender.

To persevere.

To count the cost.

Yet the cost of discipleship must also be understood alongside the immeasurable value of knowing and following Christ.
