Discipleship is not a casual commitment—it is a total surrender of one's life to the will and way of Jesus Christ. In Luke 14:27–33, Jesus plainly declares that anyone who does not carry their cross and follow Him cannot be His disciple. The cost involves dying to self, letting go of personal ambitions, enduring rejection, and even facing persecution for His name. This section explores what it truly means to count the cost, embrace sacrifice, and follow Christ wholeheartedly in a world that often demands compromise. The path of discipleship is narrow and demanding, but it leads to eternal life and unshakable joy in Christ.
