The choice to follow Jesus is costly. It is a choice to die to yourself and live for Him. It’s a choice to make all other allegiances secondary to serving Him. It is a choice to make your relationship with Him your highest priority. The gospels record the cost of following Jesus. His disciples soon understood that following Him meant going all in. Let Pastor Chuck Swindoll’s scriptural takeaways help prepare your heart for the journey ahead. Remain committed to Jesus even when the winds of opposition test your faith.
