Is God worth giving up everything for Him? Is He worth taking up your cross and following Him everyday?(Mt 6:24 & 10:38) Is He worth losing your life for so you can gain your life?(Mt 6:25-26 & Mt 10:39) Is He worth letting your dead bury the dead while you go off and follow Him?(Lk 9:59-60) Is He worth selling all that you have and giving the proceeds to follow Him?(Mt 13:44-46) Is He worth following even when He makes no promise of giving you a nice place to sleep?(Lk 9:57-58) Is He worth following when it prevents you from telling your family goodbye?(Lk 9:61-62) Is He worth following when He demands we make Him more important than our closest family members?(Mt 10:37)
Until we get a real picture and understanding of who this God is that is asking us for this type of commitment it is very difficult, if not impossible, to honestly answer “yes” to these questions.
