Good morning!  Read Luke 14:25-33.  Salvation is free, but following Jesus comes with a cost, as we have witnessed in this text.  Some of the disciples entered fully into His passion and death.  There was no limit to the love and solidarity they extended. Know that their lives and deaths are gifts to the rest of us as we struggle to realize the full meaning of spiritual discipleship.  Have a blessed day! Always, Shalom! ~ Pastor Clark
