Price Of Discipleship
Last Updated : July 25, 2006
"And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a
certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee
whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes
have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of
man hath not where to lay his head. And he said unto
another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go
and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury
their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And
another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me
first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the
plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
Luke 9:57-62, KJV
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother,
and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and
his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever
doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my
disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower,
sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he
have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid
the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that
behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to
build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to
make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and
consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him
that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while
the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage,
and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he
be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be
my disciple. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his
savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit
for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
Luke 14:26-35, KJV
"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you
fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and
followed him."
Matthew 4:19-20, KJV
"And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I
will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith
unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air
have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his
head. And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord,
suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said
unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."
Matthew 8:19-22, KJV
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He
that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of
me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not
worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and
followeth after me, is not worthy of me."
Matthew 10:36-38, KJV
"And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or
lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and
shall inherit everlasting life."
Matthew 19:29, KJV
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and
steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not
break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:19-21, KJV
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the
one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life,
what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your
body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for
they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one
cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil
not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to
day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not
much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take
no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all
these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no
thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought
for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof."
Matthew 6:24-34, KJV
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19, KJV
"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee
the desires of thine heart."
Psalms 37:4, KJV
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed
on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Isaiah 26:3, KJV
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he
that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Hebrews 11:6, KJV
