It is God's desire for every person to become a disciple of Jesus and participate in the Kingdom. But even so, some people won't. Some people choose another way, and Jesus is clear that there will be repercussions for the choices we make. Thankfully, we don't have to guess what sort of lives Jesus wants us to live. He tells us. We're going to look at a passage this week in Matthew's gospel where Jesus flat out tells us some of the things that are expected of his disciples in crystal clear language - no parables, no mysteries, no interpretation needed!
