"Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion?" (Luke 14: 28).
What is the cost of following Jesus? Read the Gospels and you will find that the cost of the discipleship is all time, all talent and all treasure. Does Jesus deserve less? Absolutely No! Some people commit everything to their work or business.
The first Commandment comes to mind again:
"Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength." (Mark 12: 29 - 30).
With the constant availability of the Holy Spirit, nothing can overcome us. (Cf Romans 8: 31 - 32). No towers to construct. No army to vanquish.
