The Christian life is hard and at times lonely. It would be really easy to throw in the towel. Too many do that today, quitting on marriages, children, churches and Jesus. Today’s culture, even church culture is very consumer minded and if you don’t like something or something doesn’t give you what you want you move on to something else. Discipleship is different. Jesus paints a picture of a disciple in today’s text and it is one that does not quit or give up.
