Serious Discipleship Mark 9:42-50 March 19, 2023

God takes sin seriously, so we should as well. This teaching may seem radical or extreme, but it is an application of the previous teaching: “whoever would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.” This is the call of everyone who follows Jesus: serious discipleship with great cost. As we will see, the alternative is even more costly.
