What's the Cost?

When Jesus talked about us taking up our cross (the object of death) denying ourselves daily and following Him (in Luke 14), He was teaching us how to be true disciples. In other parts of the world, it costs people their lives, literally. Would we be willing to pay that same price if that kind of suffering came to the US? While people in other countries are willing to die for Christ, are we even willing to live for Him in obedience? How much would you pay? How much does true discipleship cost? I made this video while thinking about these things, and asking myself theses questions.
