The Cost of Discipleship
Luke 9:61
…"But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and Proclaim The Kingdom of God.” 61Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.” 62Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God.”…
The KingDom of GOD includes all "ETERNITY" when everything has Been destroyed all of Heaven and all of the Universe has been gone. and only "Eternity" Remains , for in Eternity there is no time or space for even Space is a part of Creation and I do not mean "Outer Space", I mean the space that surrounds you, is a part of creation too.
So, let, The person 1st. count The Costs of Discipleship". There is no enjoyment there, only pain and suffering even death. You must die so many kinds of Death. For you must embrace death and all kinds of pain, and they become, your closes of friends, A constant, Loving companion. The calling is To Die. Die to your self and all your ways in this life. for you must give Him All,, you family , your sons and daughters you entertainment , you must give All, your happiness, you joy, you desirers you must give all and leave nothing for your self. For even that is painful, For all must be broken beyond repair, that only a GOD can resurrected you daily from The dead.
John 12:24 BSB
…"But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24Truly, truly, I tellyou, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the groundand dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.…"
1 Corinthians 15:36
You fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
Psalm 22:15,22-31
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death…
New King James Version Philippians 3: 10 KJV
"that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,"
The Pain will be so great on this Journey you will no doubt, sometimes Past right out, while you are standing on your very feet. and the Angel, that GOD has put in charge of you ,will have to bare you up, for the pain will draw all your strength from your very being, and you cannot stand or even breathe.
for many Christians have no idea what is going in this world! and what God our Father is doing in Christ, Creating a New Creature In GOD.
But one day we will wake in up, "Clothe In GLORY" and brighter Than The stars at night and brighter than the The brightest of All Created Lights , more powerful and Glorious than the imagination of any kind of Created creature could ever imagine.
1Corinthians 2 KJV
9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
The Kingdom of God is not of This world, But we will inherit this passing world too, that will fade away and be no more.
1 Corinthians 2 KJV
14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
