The Cost of Discipleship Is a Beautiful Unifying Thing

I think for me, one of the things i've found helpful, both on the receiving and as someone being discipled is his constantly showing how jesus puts us all in the same boat. Some of the harder things we we find in scripture, i thinkwe receive more easily when we realize we're not the only people who were being challenged by by jesus. So i feel that has to figure in to the church's witness going forward. Is an equal opportunity kind of call to self denial again. We're in this together as christians. And the cost of discipleship is a beautiful unifying thing.
