The Cost to Follow Jesus

Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
