So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions. Luke 14:33
As we become followers and learners of Jesus, we can come to know what He means when He speaks. The cost of discipleship is about making choices. These passages are about making choices between pursuits, possessions, and relationships. In order to be a disciple, Jesus must be first in every category. First ahead of family, jobs, and possessions. This does not mean that we cannot own anything. Rather, it means we cannot let possessions own us. To be His disciple, let's give all we own to Him. He will let us use them as long as we need them.
