Often times in life, we do a good job of waying out options before we make a decision. Is my car worth that large repair bill, or should I buy a new one? Can we afford the mortgage on that new home? What steps can we take to make sure we have enough to live on in retirement? We are diligent to think through those scenarios, but perhaps never thought through this one: what does it cost me to be a disciple of Jesus? Jesus offers two parables that makes it very clear. To be His disciple, it will cost you everything.
