Christ called his disciples to a radically new kind of life ~ one of total commitment to Him (Luke 14:26-33). Their life change is a showcase for how the committed heart can have a powerful impact. Of this, Billy Graham said: "The men who followed Christ were unique in their generation. They turned the world up-side down because their hearts had been turned right-side up. The world has never been the same" INSIGHT"Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them: " .... If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters and yes, even his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it ~~ lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying 'this man began to build and was not able to finish' ..... "Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! .... "
Our love for Jesus is the key to spiritual passion ~~~ TalkerCat
