"For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesnβt first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?" (Luke 14:28)
Count the Cost
Jesus warns against impulsive discipleship. Following Him is not just an emotional decision; it requires a lifelong commitment.
Just as a builder who runs out of money becomes a laughingstock, a Christian who starts but falls away brings shame to the Gospel.
Key Lesson: Following Jesus costs everything. We must be willing to give up our own lives to be His disciples.
