No Easy Commitment

Illustration of Luke 14:27-30 NLT

Illustration of Luke 14:27-30 NLT -- [Jesus said,] "And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple. But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, 'There's the person who started that building and couldn't afford to finish it!'"
