Jesus teaches challenging requirements for those who follow him.
Sometimes the requirements can seem so difficult, that no individual can meet them.
But Salvation is the province of God and not something to be earned by human beings.
Jesus promises that God’s faithfulness will reward those who have given up much for the advancement of the kingdom.
Is it not time to review how we are trying to follow what Jesus teaches?
