What does it really mean to be called to becoming a follower of Jesus? It includes a surrender to salvation, but it is far more than just being saved. The Scriptures reveal that each of is called to follow Jesus in such a way that it can be defined as nothing less than radical. Jesus left no doubts concerning what He requires of those who follow Him. His words are both inspiring and sobering, and they are very different than what is commonly offered by the Western 21st Century church. Perhaps more than anything else Jesus said, the words in this message get to the core of our calling to follow Him. He commands us to count the cost and to pay the price. For those who do, there is immeasurable reward.
