Send us Fan MailIn this message, Jesus challenges us to truly consider the cost of discipleship. Following Him isn’t casual—it requires surrender, sacrifice, and total commitment.Jesus reminds us that to follow Him, our love for Him must surpass all other loves.He calls us to bear our cross daily, dying to self and living fully for Christ.True discipleship means renouncing our own desires and ambitions to embrace God’s will.Just like building a tower or going to war, we must count the cost before committing—because following Jesus will cost us everything, but it is worth it.Finally, Jesus calls His followers to remain “salty”—useful and influential in His kingdom.The question for us today is: Have you counted the cost of following Jesus—and found Him to be worth it?
