Christians believe we can find wisdom in God, which should help us understand that being a disciple isn’t always easy. In fact, sometimes it’s downright difficult and even painful. Jesus knows that. He knows it’s not an easy path, so he insists that we understand what we’re getting into. Because if we don’t, then it’s likely that we’ll fail. Yes, we’re called to be disciples of Jesus and to follow him; but we need to start by truly considering the cost of being a Christian!
