Text: Mark 10:17-31

Discipleship Group Guide

Jesus calls us to follow him. It is a high invitation and a high challenge. His call is gentle yet tough. He came and it cost him everything, and likewise, when we follow him, it costs us everything. The rich young ruler got a taste of Christ's call on his life. Bonhoeffer says that cheap grace justifies sin, while costly grace justifies the sinner. Jesus removes sin, but he also transforms our life, and that is costly.
