Counting the Cost of Discipleship
Explore Jesus' teaching on the cost of building a tower as a metaphor for discipleship commitment and learn to count the cost before following Him.
đź“– Introduction
Understanding the cost of following Jesus is a vital step in our spiritual journey. In Luke 14:28–30, Jesus uses the example of building a tower to emphasize the importance of counting the cost before committing to discipleship. This teaching challenges us to consider what it truly means to be His follower—not just in word, but through intentional, sacrificial commitment.
Discipleship is often portrayed as a path filled with blessings, hope, and transformation—and indeed it is—but it also requires surrender, perseverance, and at times, hardship. Jesus calls us not to make rash decisions but to weigh carefully what it means to take up our cross and follow Him.
Over the next three days, we will thoughtfully examine key Gospel passages that deepen our understanding of Jesus’ invitation to discipleship, helping us to reflect on the cost and the great rewards of a life fully devoted to Him. Whether you are new in faith or seeking renewed commitment, this study will aid you in discerning the call to follow Christ wholeheartedly.
