DISCIPLES OF THE HARD WAY

LUKE 14

25 walked with him a lot of people, and turning them said:
26 "If anyone is where me and not hate his father, his mother, his wife, their sons, their brothers, their sisters and even his own life, can not be my disciple.

¿Hating to our family? - Formerly hate the word meant "resign" - leaving no means to love our parents, wife and children during our Learning, nothing should stand between the master and his disciple, in this case Jesus, The example is the Mother of Jesus, she does not mention anything of their relationship with God that it was her husband, Jose. He went to the house of her cousin Elizabeth without saying anything to anyone. knew it could not understand what he was doing , Or what should be done.

27 On that does not bear his cross and come after me, can not be my disciple.
28 "Because of who you want to build a tower, not first sit down to calculate the costs and see if he has to complete it?
29 is that, having laid the foundation and not being able to finish, all you see are placed to make fun of him, saying:
30 "This began to build and was unable to finish."

Being a disciple of Jesus is very hard, you can not know in what way will be instructed not to be subjected to tests, the investigation is not limited to acquire knowledge, is also the temperance-being to endure all the setbacks and the ills that will come when it comes to bringing the word of God. narrow is the door, there are many examples in the bible.

31 Or what king, who comes out to face against another king, does not feel before and deliberates whether to 10,000 can go to the next step against him with 20,000?
32 And if not, when it is still far away, sent an embassy to ask for conditions of peace.
33, the same way, any of you who do not renounce all their property, can not be my disciple.

Renounce all of our assets, it may be impossible if we do not put all our effort and willingness to follow Jesus, Jesus always behind, never ahead of him, go in front of the light, is to walk in the dark, and can be fatal, -- is fatal.
