While we might not face the same fears or hard realities that early disciples of Christ lived with, we still have our lists of “costs” that come with our decision to follow Him.
Following Jesus wholeheartedly means we are putting Him first in all things; the way we love and serve others, the way we use the gifts and resources He gives, and the way we accept the sufferings and pains we endure. And that can be a lot easier said than done.
But like the disciples, we realize that all of these temporary costs pale in comparison to what awaits us in a life lived for our Savior. And that our amazement of Him, getting a chance to share that with others in every area of our lives, is the greatest treasure we could ever have.
