The cost of discipleship audiobook free download

Jesus is telling us that we have to weigh the cost of following Him because it will cost us everything. Jesus clearly tells us what the cost of being a disciple is: giving up everything you own.

Jesus uses this parable to tell us that there is a cost to being a disciple. We must lay down our lives if we want to follow Jesus. Jesus sends out his disciples in groups of two to send them ahead to places he had planned on visiting in Luke And know this—the Kingdom of God is near! The disciples were going to tell people that The Kingdom of God is near!

Even if a town rejected the message of Jesus, the Kingdom is still near. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me. The disciples knew that if they were rejected, they were ultimately rejecting God. The cost of discipleship can be rejection from people, but that should not stop us from sharing the gospel to those who are lost.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Jesus calls his disciples to spread the Good News of salvation to the whole world.

The Son of Man has saved the world and people can have salvation now. He was our lamb and our sacrifice and paid the price for our sins.

Jesus tells the disciples of the power they will have through God. They will be able to perform miracles. The disciples had seen Jesus perform many miracles throughout his life and now they were going to be the ones performing miracles. It started with the disciples, they had already given up everything to follow Jesus and they were called to spread the gospel to all ends of the earth. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

Along with the twelve disciples, Paul gave up his life to be a disciple for Christ. You can also check out the Top Posts page to get a feel for the site.
