Have you ever been told about the cost of following Jesus, or did they only tell you that you would receive blessings?

As they were walking along, someone said to the Lord, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

In those times, those who followed Jesus had to walk with Him, eat, and sleep during long journeys throughout Palestine. The only certainty was that the Lord of Lords was leading the expedition.

Today, we do not have to leave our homes, but we must carefully consider certain inconveniences that will arise. We might lose popularity, be criticized by our surroundings, and even face initial understandable rejection.

But the cost of following the Savior is worth it for its great benefits: eternal life, a family transformed by the power of God, faces filled with love, and hearts directed towards meaningful purposes.
