Jesus said some radical things, but none more radical than what he said in Luke 9:23-25, "And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?" He's basically telling his followers that the cost of following him is death! Do you live like you "take up your electric chair" every day?
