Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
There is a cost to discipleship. In Matthew's gospel Jesus says to the young man who wants to bury his father, 'Let the dead bury the dead.' To the first of the disciples Jesus says, 'Drop your nets [in other words, your entire way of life] and follow me.' When we decide to follow Jesus we are to leave everything behind and follow him. All of our earthly ties, all of our dreams and desires. We should let nothing get in the way of our following Jesus. Some of Jesus' disciples, when they heard this, left Jesus. They did not want to make any kind of sacrifice. There is a sacrifice when it comes to following Jesus. We are supposed to give up everything to follow him. God bless you.
